“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

“Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.”
― Charles Dickens

“Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History
