“We always pretend the ideals and culture of the past have aged like wine, but in truth, the ideas of the past tend to age more like biscuits. They simply get stale.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea

“Heroism is often the seemingly spontaneous result of a lifetime of preparation.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea

“In the end, the presumption of regularity depended on what the mind infers. To kill legally, as the president has ordered, to fulfill a duty, as the president has defined; to continue to work, to do the job, to destroy the enemy - to do all this, the country must make the irrevocable connection between an addict and a gun. It is a connection that the president has made in speech after speech. That is what is normal, acceptable, regular.”
― Patricia Evangelista, Some People Need Killing: A Memoir of Murder in My Country

“Empathy is an emotional loss leader. It pays for itself eventually.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea
