“This was art. Something the machine, however capable in the tech- nical details, could never understand. Because art is, and always has been, about what it does to us. To the one shaping it and the one expe- riencing it.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

“I’d watched a lot of humans watch or read all kinds of media, so I knew that when they didn’t talk and didn’t move much except to eat crunchy things out of bags, it was a good sign.”

“Humans are incredibly malleable. Despite my breadth of experience, I've never stopped being surprised at how durable human beings can be. They can survive in almost any environment. They can recover from debilitating loss. They can be crushed physically, mentally, emotionally- and still ask you how your day is going.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter
