Joel’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive, #1)

The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive, #1) by Brandon Sanderson

1 highlight

‘Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.’ ”

Nancy and 1 other person liked this

“The truth of course is that if people really were as happy as they look on the Internet, they wouldn’t spend so much damn time on the Internet, because no one who’s having a really good day spends half of it taking pictures of themselves. Anyone can nurture a myth about their life if they have enough manure, so if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, that’s probably because it’s full of shit.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“On sunny days, a herd of deer would graze on the grass below him, and the birds would sing above him. He hummed along with their song. Giovanni was at peace.”
