I almost want to give this book 4 stars but I won’t because it was amazing. It’s just so fast after reading the Stormlight Archives. I feel like it just skipped stuff to make the book shorter and I’m used to way more detail. But it was an amazing boo

“Comparison is the crush of conformity from one side and competition from the other—it’s trying to simultaneously fit in and stand out. Comparison says, “Be like everyone else, but better.”

“The near enemy of love is attachment. Attachment masquerades as love. It says, “I will love this person (because I need something from them).” Or, “I’ll love you if you’ll love me back.

True love allows, honors, and appreciates; attachment grasps, demands, needs, and aims to possess.”

“The idea that regret is a fair but tough teacher can really piss people off. “No regrets” has become synonymous with daring and adventure, but I disagree.
