“Everything exists for some end, a horse, a vine. Why do you wonder? Even the sun will say, I am for some purpose, and the rest of the gods will say the same. For what purpose are you then? To enjoy pleasure? See if common sense allows this.”

“There is nowhere quieter with more freedom from trouble than when a man retires into his own soul, particularly when he has within him such thoughts that by looking into them he is immediately in perfect tranquility; and I affirm that tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind.”
― James Harris, Meditations: Adapted for the Contemporary Reader

“Friendships take minutes to make, moments to break, years to repair.”
― Pierce Brown, Golden Son

“The path is made of many stones that look all the same. When you trod upon evil, do not rest or look down because goodness is only a step away. The next may bring ruin, the next joy, but these stones are not your destination, they are but your journey to the path’s end.”
― Pierce Brown, Light Bringer
