“The innocent died along with the guilty. And if you did nothing, then only the innocent died.”
― Robert Jordan, Crossroads of Twilight

“Death is light as a feather; duty, heavy as a mountain”
― Robert Jordan, The Eye of the World

“Sometimes you had to laugh if only to keep from crying.”
― Robert Jordan, Crossroads of Twilight

“That is one of the great mistakes people make: assuming that someone who does menial work does not like thinking. Physical labor is great for the mind, as it leaves all kinds of time to consider the world. Other work, like accounting or scribing, demands little of the body—but siphons energy from the mind.

If you wish to become a storyteller, here is a hint: sell your labor, but not your mind. Give me ten hours a day scrubbing a deck, and oh the stories I could imagine. Give me ten hours adding sums, and all you’ll have me imagining at the end is a warm bed and a thought-free evening.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea
