“Indeed, the path to a life without empathy is a long and painful one, full of bartered humanity sold at a steep discount.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea

“Your death has not been waiting for your arrival at the appointed hour; it has, for all the years of your life, been racing towards you with the fierce velocity of time's arrow. It cannot be evaded; it cannot be bargained with, deflected or placated. All that is given to you is the choice: Meet it with open eyes and peace in your heart, go gentle to your reward. Or burn bright, take up arms, and fight the bitch.”
― Mark Lawrence, Red Sister
