“I am generous because I've been poor,

cautious because I've been naive,

strong because I've been afraid,

clever because I've been foolish,

mighty because I've been weak,
kind because I’ve been downtrodden,
cheerful because I’ve been miserable,
patient because I’ve been reckless,
modest because I’ve been humbled,
calm because I’ve been confused,
friendly because I’ve been ostracized,
noble because I’ve been dishonoured,
loyal because I’ve been betrayed,
confident because I’ve been nervous,
pleasant because I’ve been malicious,
chaste because I’ve been depraved,
principled because I’ve been unethical,
just because I’ve been persecuted,
and tolerant because I’ve been discriminated against.”

“Shapeshifter parenting motto—if your kid slits somebody's throat, always have a backup plan to make the body disappear.”
― Ilona Andrews, Magic Slays

“I will take responsibility for what I have done,” Dalinar whispered. “If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man.”
