“That's what war is," Cobb told me. "A bunch of sorry, desperate fools on both sides, just trying to stay alive. That's the part that those stories you love leave out, isn't it? It's always more convenient when you can fight a dragon. Something you don't have to worry you'll start caring about.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Starsight

“Warbreaker (Sanderson, Brandon) - Your Highlight on page 255 | Location 4397-4400 | Added on Saturday, March 29, 2014 1:05:24 AM “Oh, I wouldn’t say that. Work, my dear Blushweaver, is like fertilizer.” “It smells?” He smiled. “No, I was thinking that work is like fertilizer in that I’m glad it exists; I just don’t ever want to get stuck in it.”
