"Idk what it is about this book but something about it just pulls me in. Probably the most unique thing I’ve read in terms of narration and flow, it feels strangely distant and close at the same time with the narration; I’m not making sense at all but fuck if I’m enjoying myself" Jun 24, 2026 08:50PM

George R.R. Martin
“My skin has turned to porcelain, to ivory, to steel.”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Robin Hobb
“He shook his head pityingly. “This, more than anything else, is what I have never understood about your people. You can roll dice, and understand that the whole game may hinge on one turn of a die. You deal out cards, and say that all a man's fortune for the night may turn upon one hand. But a man's whole life, you sniff at, and say, what, this naught of a human, this fisherman, this carpenter, this thief, this cook, why, what can they do in the great wide world? And so you putter and sputter your lives away, like candles burning in a draft.”
“Not all men are destined for greatness,” I reminded him.
“Are you sure, Fitz? Are you sure? What good is a life lived as if it made no difference at all to the great life of the world? A sadder thing I cannot imagine. Why should not a mother say to herself, if I raise this child aright, if I love and care for her, she shall live a life that brings joy to those about her, and thus I have changed the world? Why should not the farmer that plants a seed say to his neighbor, this seed I plant today will feed someone, and that is how I change the world today?”
“This is philosophy, Fool. I have never had time to study such things.”
“No, Fitz, this is life. And no one has time not to think of such things. Each creature in the world should consider this thing, every moment of the heart's beating. Otherwise, what is the point of arising each day?”
Robin Hobb, Royal Assassin

Christopher Ruocchio
“But the truth is poor poetry”
Christopher Ruocchio, Empire of Silence

Steven Erikson
“The soul knows no greater anguish than to take a breath that begins with love and ends with grief.”
Steven Erikson, Toll the Hounds

Steven Erikson
“And now the page before us blurs.
An age is done. The book must close.
We are abandoned to history.
Raise high one more time the tattered standard
Of the Fallen. See through the drifting smoke
To the dark stains upon the fabric.
This is the blood of our lives, this is the
Payment of our deeds, all soon to be
Forgotten.
We were never what people could be.
We were only what we were.

Remember us.”
Steven Erikson, The Crippled God
