" She excels because she trusts her skill. I suspect you fear that yours will slip between your fingers if you loosen your grip for even a moment...I always wanted to prove to myself that I was worthy of it... All I did was practice. I forgot how to possess a skill. Instead, the skill posses me. All of me. "

― Samantha Shannon , The Priory of the Orange Tree (The Roots of Chaos, #1)
