― Barbara W. Tuchman

“I doubt you can understand the magnitude of the stupidity in your statement”
― Robert Jordan, The Gathering Storm

“Fear is a wolf on a chain, only dangerous when you set it free. Sorrow exhausts itself in the net of forgetting. Anger, for all its fury, can be killed by a smile. Only hope goes on forever, because hope doesn’t belong to us: it belongs to our ancestors, the first of our kind, whose brave love for one another gave us most of the good that we are.”
― Gregory David Roberts, The Mountain Shadow

“Elend: I kind of lost track of time…
Breeze: For two hours?
