“«Alguien tiene que empezar, hijo. Alguien tiene que dar un paso adelante y hacer lo que hay que hacer, porque es lo justo. Si nadie lo hace, los demás no pueden seguir.»”

“—. Has dicho que iba a empeorar.
—Y lo hará —afirmó Sagaz—, pero luego mejorará. Y luego empeorará otra vez. Y luego mejorará. Así es la vida, y no voy a mentirte diciendo que todos los días serán soleados. Pero volverá a haber luz del sol, que es otra cosa muy distinta. Esa es la verdad. Te lo prometo, Kaladin: volverás a estar calentito.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Rhythm of War (5 of 6) [Dramatized Adaptation]

“Why do we tell stories? They are a universal human experience. Every culture I’ve ever visited, every people I’ve met, every human on every planet in every situation I’ve seen…they all tell stories. Men trapped alone for years tell them to themselves. Ancients leave them painted on the walls. Women whisper them to their babies. Stories explain us. You want to define what makes a human different from an animal? I can do it in one word or a hundred thousand. Sad stories. Exultant stories. Didactic morality tales. Frivolous yarns that, paradoxically, carry too much meaning. We need stories.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

“And so, does the destination matter? Or is it the path we take? I declare that no accomplishment has substance nearly as great as the road used to achieve it. We are not creatures of destinations. It is the journey that shapes us. Our callused feet, our backs strong from carrying the weight of our travels, our eyes open with the fresh delight of experiences lived.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings
