“She knew the true shape of the world. All else was shadow and the sound of distant drums.”

“I realized how common this feeling is. I’ve had person after person tell me that they empathize with Auri. That they know where she’s coming from. I didn’t expect that. I cannot help but wonder how many of us walk through our lives, day after day, feeling slightly broken and alone, surrounded all the time by others who feel exactly the same way.”

“She knew. She knew how quickly things could break. You did the things you could. You tended to the world for the world’s sake. You hoped you would be safe. But still she knew. It could come crashing down and there was nothing you could do.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Slow Regard of Silent Things

“There was something spiritual about trees that seemed to bring about an inner calm.”
