“That's why we get annoyed by you Idrians. So high, so certain that what you do is right. If your god asked you to give up your Breath—or even the Breath of your child—wouldn't you do it?

Yet when we do something to serve our gods, you twist your lips at us and call us blasphemers.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Warbreaker
