“We’re all beings of power. Some of us are strong, some weak. Every mistake that we learn something from, makes us stronger. As does every sacrifice, every good deed. That’s how we learn. Our power is the sum of all we have been and all we are. When you take responsibility for somebody else’s decisions, or actions, you take away their power. And when you take away somebody’s power, you leave them spinning wheels when they could be moving forward.”
― Charles de Lint, The Wind in His Heart

“Light it up”
― Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood

“The great and terrible thing about humankind is simply this: we will always do what we are capable of.”
― Ray Nayler, The Mountain in the Sea

“We came from the ocean, and we only survive by carrying salt water with us all our lives—in our blood, in our cells. The sea is our true home. This is why we find the shore so calming: we stand where the waves break, like exiles returning home.”
― Ray Nayler, The Mountain in the Sea
