Lucian

“All the fear in the world, and the violence that comes from the fear, and the hatred that comes from the violence, and the lonliness that comes from the hatred. All the unhappiness, all the cruelty, it gathers like clouds in the air, and grows dark and cold and heavy, and falls like grey snow in thick layers over the land. Then the world is muffled and numb, and no one can hear each other or feel each other. Think how sad and lonely that must be.”
― William Nicholson, Firesong

“Do not trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.”
― Robert Jordan, The Shadow Rising

“Reading is like breathing. If you take it away, first I become antsy, then violent.”
― Robert Jordan

“I always say, if you must mount the gallows, give a jest to the crowd, a coin to the hangman, and make the drop with a smile on your lips.”
― Robert Jordan, The Fires of Heaven
