Brandon Sanderson
“Heroism is often the seemingly spontaneous result of a lifetime of preparation.”
Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea

Rachel Jankovic
“Faithfulness does not feel like what it is accomplishing. We have gotten so consumed with feelings needing to be pleasant that we have discarded the generally unpleasant feelings of faithfulness. It doesn’t feel good, so it cannot be good. But discarding the feelings of faithfulness discards the fruits of it.”
Rachel Jankovic, You Who? Why You Matter and How to Deal with It

Brandon Sanderson
“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

Beth Brower
“I make a go of it, when I can. It’s not my disposition to…what I mean to say is, I learned a long time ago that my happiness has to be separate from the things beyond my control.”
Beth Brower, The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion: Vol. 3

Brandon Sanderson
“It might seem that the person who can feel for others is doomed in life. Isn’t one person’s pain enough? Why must a person like Tress feel for two, or more? Yet I’ve found that the people who are the happiest are the ones who learn best how to feel. It takes practice, you know. Effort. And those who (late in life) have been feeling for two, three, or a thousand different people…well, turns out they’ve had a leg up on everyone else all along. Empathy is an emotional loss leader. It pays for itself eventually.”
Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea
