Charles Marshall

“An oath could be broken, but a promise? A promise stood as long as you were still trying. A promise understood that sometimes your best wasn’t enough. A promise cried with you when all went to Damnation. A promise came to help when you could barely stand. Because a promise knew that sometimes, being there was all you could offer.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Wind and Truth

“Every decision we make influences others, and sometimes harms them. That’s not the way of kings. That’s the way of life.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Wind and Truth

“What did you do when you weren’t enough anymore? When you had been the best all your life, but suddenly you were obsolete?”
― Brandon Sanderson, Wind and Truth

“And so, in the face of the most awful darkness he’d ever felt, Kaladin Stormblessed took a deep breath.
Then stood up.”
