“Listen, son… when I was your age, I had to face truths that seemed to break the world. That’s what happens when you come into contact with people who aren’t quite like you. You learn over time that the world isn’t broken. It’s just… got more pieces to it than you thought. They all fit together, just maybe not the way you pictured when you were young.”
― M.L. Wang, The Sword of Kaigen

“Wholeness, she had learned, was not the absence of pain but the ability to hold it.”

“Listening never made any man dumber, but it's made a lot of people smarter.”

“Truths are like flowers, better plucked at the right moment.”
