“It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty life is unfinished.”

Dari The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson.
"Good men don't need to become legends. They just do what's right anyway.”
“At first glance, the key and the lock it fits may seem very different. Different in shape, different in function, different in design. The man who looks at them without knowledge of their true nature might think them opposites, for one is meant to open, and the other to keep closed. Yet, upon closer examination he might see that without one, the other becomes useless. The wise man then sees that both lock and key were created for the same purpose.”
“A man was defined not by his flaws, but by how he overcame them.”
“Good men can make terrible kings. But bad men cannot make good kings.It is better to start with a good man and work on the rest, I think.”
“If you perpetuate the dreams of the past, you stifle your own dreams of the future.”

“I believe people try to make others feel inferior so they can feel superior. Whether this is because of race, color, or anything else doesn’t matter; they cause the same thing. Prejudice is actually a sign of weakness and insecurity, and it comes from doubts of one’s own adequacy.”
― John Kaniecki

Favorite quote: "I don’t believe in closure. What does it really mean? Does it mean the closing of a door, the locking up of memories, the refusal to allow a flow of consciousness that may involve some measure of grief?"
