Essie J. Chambers
“Sometimes when you do someone wrong, it’s too overwhelming to figure out how to fix the hurt, and you end up being the one to leave.”
Essie J. Chambers, Swift River

Brandon Sanderson
“I once saw a spindly man carrying a stone larger than his head upon his back. He stumbled beneath the weight, shirtless under the sun, wearing only a loincloth. He tottered down a busy thoroughfare. People made way for him. Not because they sympathized with him, but because they feared the momentum of his steps. You dare not impede one such as this. The monarch is like this man, stumbling along, the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders. Many give way before him, but so few are willing to step in and help carry the stone. They do not wish to attach themselves to the work, lest they condemn themselves to a life full of extra burdens. I left my carriage that day and took up the stone, lifting it for the man. I believe my guards were embarrassed. One can ignore a poor shirtless wretch doing such labor, but none ignore a king sharing the load. Perhaps we should switch places more often. If a king is seen to assume the burden of the poorest of men, perhaps there will be those who will help him with his own load, so invisible, yet so daunting.”
Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

Cynthia Hand
“Stories let us see and hear and feel what someone else does,” she explained. “They build bridges to the other islands. That’s why stories are so important. They create true empathy.”
Cynthia Hand, The Afterlife of Holly Chase

Essie J. Chambers
“Sometimes worries are a comfort, what connect you to another person.”
Essie J. Chambers, Swift River

Essie J. Chambers
“I’ve been thinking about the fact that families split apart over one thing, but the thing that keeps them apart is something else entirely. Toss in guilt and shame and then the years stack up like bricks in a wall you can’t climb over.”
Essie J. Chambers, Swift River
