“Belief isn't simply a thing for fair times and bright days...What is belief - what is faith - if you don't continue in it after failure?...Anyone can believe in someone, or something that always succeeds...But failure...ah, now, that is hard to believe in, certainly and truly. Difficult enough to have value. Sometimes we just have to wait long enough...then we find out why exactly it was that we kept believing...There's always another secret.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn: The Final Empire

“Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.”
― William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair

“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.”

“I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.”
