“If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

“I closed my eyes but the world became no darker.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains

“Tak reflects the subtle turning of the world. It is a mirror we hold to life. No one wins a dance, boy. The point of dancing is the motion that a body makes. A well-played game of tak reveals the moving of a mind. There is a beauty to these things for those with eyes to see it.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

“Beer dulls a memory, brand sets it burning, but wine is the best for a sore heart's yearning.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
