You poison today’s ease, reaching always for tomorrow.

The audio version of this point in the story is like nothing I have ever heard before. Absolutely hilarious.

“We are not here to tolerate our differences,
We are here to accept them.
We are not here to celebrate our sameness,
We are here to salute our distinctions.
We are not born into equal circumstances,
Or with equal abilities,
But we should have equal opportunity.
As individuals,
We unite in our values.
Celebrate that.

“The difference between childhood and adulthood, Vic had come to believe, was the difference between imagination and resignation. You traded one for the other and lost your way.”

“I am glad, glad that you are alive. To see you take breaths puts the breath back in my lungs. If there must be another my fate is twined around, I am glad it is you”

“Nobility has nothing to do with blood, Ishar. But it has everything to do with heart.”

“… Goobering?”

“Our master has given us a task. We shall see it completed.”

It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone abundantly that he had loved so miserly.

Love didn’t grow very well in a place where there was only fear, just as plants didn’t grow very well in a place where it was always dark.

All he can take from me is what I would have to give up someday anyhow—my life. I will not let him break me down. I will not let him make me less than I am, if I can possibly help it. I want to die well … and I am going to have what I want.

dreams are the psyche’s way of taking a good dump every now and then. And that people who don’t dream—or don’t dream in a way they can often remember when they wake up—are mentally constipated in some way. After all, the only practical compensation for having a nightmare is waking up and realizing it was all just a dream.

“As I fear not a child with a weapon he cannot lift, I will never fear the mind of a man who does not think.”

“What if you need to poop?”
Shallan asking the questions we have all been wondering.

“For my honor? Unquestionably.”

“How can you lead from the rear?”

“Belief isn’t simply a thing for fair times and bright days, I think. What is belief—what is faith—if you don’t continue in it after failure?”

“Paper can be moved, I believe. If they prove too heavy, you could always burn pewter to give yourself more strength.”

“You’re no skaa— you’re just noblemen without titles.”
