Everyone is either happy or dead.

Though most expect young men to be fools, I've noticed that just a little bit of age can make a man far more foolish than he was as a child.

If men should read these words, let them know that power is a heavy burden. Seek not to be bound by its chains.

What kind of woman is still able to trust people after everything she's been through? If she'd been Vin, she would have stabbed him in the back at the first opportunity, and that would have probably been the right thing to do. Yet, this girl just continued to trust. It was like finding a beautiful plant growing alone in a field of burnt ash.

I want you to go back into the barrack and tell the men to come out after the storm. Tell them to look up at me tied here. Tell them I’ll open my eyes and look back at them, and they’ll know hat I survived.

I love to do what I do. So, I do work long hours.

Everything is a contest. All dealings among men are a contest in which some will succeed and others fail. And some are failing quite spectacularly.
