“Pretty warriors can’t fight for shit. You can’t know how sweet it is to breathe ’til you’ve had your ribs broken. You can’t appreciate being happy ’til someone has made you cry. And there’s no point blaming yourself for the kickings life gives you. Just think about how much it hurt, and how much you don’t want to feel that way again. And that’ll help you do what you need to do the next time to win.”
― Jay Kristoff, Darkdawn

― Jay Kristoff, Nevernight

“If you are not free to say no, your yes is meaningless.”
― Brent Weeks, The Blinding Knife
