Brandon Sanderson
“The most important words a man can say are, “I will do better.” These are not the most important words any man can say. I am a man, and they are what I needed to say.

The ancient code of the Knights Radiant says “journey before destination.” Some may call it a simple platitude, but it is far more. A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us.

But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one.

I’m certain some will feel threatened by this record. Some few may feel liberated. Most will simply feel that it should not exist. I needed to write it anyway.”
Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer

Joe Abercrombie
“The age is running mad after innovation; and all the business of the world is to be done in a new way.” Dr. Johnson”
Joe Abercrombie, A Little Hatred

Guy Gavriel Kay
“And knowing, too, that this sort of artistry could not endure past the shaping moment, could only be spoken of after by those who recalled, or misrecalled, who had seen and half seen and not seen at all, distorted by memory and desire and ignorance, the achievement of it written as if on water or on sand.
It mattered, terribly, and just now it didn't matter at all. Or could the fragility, the defining impermanence actually intensify the glory? The thing lost as soon as made?”
Guy Gavriel Kay, Lord of Emperors

Terry Pratchett
“Owning a hundred slum properties wasn’t a crime, although living in one was, almost.”
Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms

Guy Gavriel Kay
“They will only bring it down!" The secretary's voice was uncomprehending.
Crispin did turn then, to look back over his shoulder. They were staring at him, the three of them, so were the others in the Sanctuary.
He said, "I understand. But they will have to DO that. Bring it down. I will make what I make, in this civilized, holy place. Others will have to give the orders to destroy. As barbarians once destroyed Rhodias...since it could not defend itself.”
Guy Gavriel Kay, Lord of Emperors
