“to learn…to teach yourself…that’s part of what it takes to be an Artist. It’s the most important part. Some never learn that. They can only repeat what they’ve been taught, but that’s not true art. Art is creating,”
― Michael J. Sullivan, Age of Swords

“I think running from responsibility breeds self-loathing and despair. I think people can, and do, rise to the occasion, and even a single person can make an incredible difference. What they need are leaders who believe in them, a belief that gives birth to hope. With hope, people can do remarkable things, amazing things. Between hope and despair, I’ll take hope every time.”
― Michael J. Sullivan, Age of Swords

“sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a person who is in the process of changing.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer
