Brandon Sanderson
“We want to imagine that people are consistent, steady, stable. We define who they are, create descriptions to lock them on a page, divide them up by their likes, talents, beliefs. Then we pretend some—perhaps most—are better than we are, because they stick to their definitions, while we never quite fit ours. Truth is, people are as fluid as time is. We adapt to our situation like water in a strangely shaped jug, though it might take us a little while to ooze into all the little nooks. Because we adapt, we sometimes don’t recognize how twisted, uncomfortable, or downright wrong the container is that we’ve been told to inhabit. We can keep going that way for a while. We can pretend we fit that jug, awkward nooks and all. But the longer we do, the worse it gets. The more it wears on us. The more exhausted we become. Even if we’re doing nothing at all, because simply holding the shape can take all the effort in the world. More, if we want to make it look natural.”
Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea

“You remember, you once told me somethin’ that made me see the world in an entirely new way.” “And that was?” Tress asked. "Here, try on these spectacles.”

“Cats don’t stop hunting because they’re full, Tress. They’re like people in that regard.”
Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea

“There’s a saying that goes, the devil doesn’t waste energy on the souls he already has. Think about it: the tempting path is often the one that’s easy, quick, and glamorous. So when hardships come knocking and it feels like the devil is throwing everything at you, perhaps it’s because you’re on to something right. Embrace the struggle; it’s often a sign you’re on the path to something truly meaningful”
Uncle Iroh

“Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the antidote to shame.”
Uncle Iroh
