The storms rarely reached this high. Today they had. Today, Kaladin reached the winds. And like everything else today, they tried their best to kill him. ~Brandon Sanderson, Rhythm of War
Review: Over the Woodward Wall
“Sometimes anger is a good, true thing, because the world is so often unfair, and unfairness deserves to be acknowledged. But all too often, anger is another feeling in its Sunday clothes, sadness or envy or--most dangerous of all--fear.” ~ A. Deborah Baker

“The truth is we don’t know what we don’t know.

Ask a ton of questions.” ~ Yaa Gyasi
