“Every time I teach the Parable series the world seems to be on fire.”

“Such were my years then. I would like to say that all the while I waited to break out, but the truth is, I’m afraid I might have floated on, believing those dull miseries were all there was, until the end of days.”

“A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us.

― Oathbringer

Meanwhile every petty and useless god would go on sucking down the bright air until the stars went dark.”
