“It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love.

― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

“What you did tonight was clever,” Wit said. “You turned an attack into a promise. The wisest of men know that to render an insult powerless, you often need only to embrace it.”

“We stopped looking for monsters under our bed when we realized that they were inside us.”
― Charles Darwin

“Expectation. That is the true soul of art. If you can give a man more than he expects, then he will laud you his entire life. If you can create an air of anticipation and feed it properly, you will succeed.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance
