“Remember in the end who you truly work for.”

This book is fucking awesome

“Yes, I began my journey alone, and I ended it alone. But that does not mean that I walked alone.”

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GOOD QUOTES AT THE END

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

“The most important step a man can take. It’s not the first one, is it? It’s the next one.”

“You cannot have my pain.”

GOD WTF

“You’re not a monster, Shallan. Oh, child. The world is monstrous at times, and there are those who would have you believe that you are terrible by association…You are not worse for your association with the world, but it is better for its association with you.”

“No, no. You should never debate an idiot, Shallan. No more than you’d use your best sword to spread butter.”

“Power could be an illusion of perception. Even within yourself.”

“In the end, I must proclaim that no good can be achieved of false means. For the substance of our existence is not in the achievement, but in the method.”

“Perhaps I shall let you tell me what you mean. I’d like to understand you again, old friend. I’m beginning to wonder if I ever really did.”

“It was the warmth of decisions made and purpose seized. It was responsibility.”

Kaladin is such an amazing character.

No one question why I’m going from an isekai to this but Paige this is for you

If I could make what I’m reading invisible I would

No one look at me (brother got this for me out of nowhere), but honestly not made at it. I'm enjoying it.

“Do not tell me that my pants are upon my head, and I will not tell you that your shirt is upon your ass.”

This is a cry for help, I am so mad at this book and have been avoiding finishing it. If ANYONE has read this please tell me there’s some kind of redeeming ending. I hate this fucking kid. Gross.

The dogs get fat!

“…in that moment I ensured all that followed, both the horrifying and the sublime.”

“I want a title from the emperor.”
“You? A title? You think a ‘lord’ in front of your name is going to make that face any less ugly?”

Dead.

“You have a name, boy?”

Spook opened his mouth, then stopped. His old name didn’t seem like it would do anymore. “Lestibornes,” he said. …Spook never did figure out whether or not Clubs knew how to speak Eastern street slang…

Lestibornes. Lefting I’m born.
Street slang for “I’ve been abandoned.”

***goddamn***

“Be careful what you speak. It can hear what you say. It can read what you write. Only your thoughts are safe.”

“So everyone [knew] except me and the magically disturbed woman?” “DISTURBED??”

“Women are like … thunderstorms. They’re beautiful to look at, and sometimes they’re nice to listen to—but most of the time they’re downright inconvenient.”

Back to reading thank god
