1 " You cannot sculpt a piece into a Player. A Player must mold himself out of fortitude and conviction. "
― Melissa McPhail , Kingdom Blades (A Pattern of Shadow and Light, #4)
2 " If you cannot enjoy living your life with those you love, you’ve already lost the game. "
3 " The forge of suffering produces the strongest souls. The greatest characters are seared with scars. "
4 " A god among fleas! And requiring no power whatsoever to fool them into thinking he was their equal; simply their own ignorance, their pathetic inclination to ignore unwholesome acts, their mortal propensity to see only what they wanted to see, what they wished to believe; and to believe only those things that made them feel stronger, smarter, less aware of their innate uselessness. "
5 " That’s what it means to be human, I think,” he offered upon a quiet exhale. “To share such a profound yet terrifying connection with someone that they become your strength and your weakness. That they balance your assumed invincibility and temper your deepest moments of inadequacy with the certainty of love. "
6 " Calendula, chamomile and garlic for cleaning, bird pepper to thicken the blood, juniper, lavender and honey for healing. A potent mixture. "
7 " It took a lot of courage to walk one’s path fully committed to the outcome. Doubts had a way speaking to your innate fears and cajoling your uncertainties, so that such voices felt like friends when in truth they were undermining your every action. "
8 " Dare not trust Love to lead you. Love will stay the course, even to the edge of doom. "
9 " I would rather traverse the valleys of a thousand hells than live a day without desire. "
10 " Let the birth of each new day be your own rebirth; grow, learn, love, admire. Revel in possibility. "
11 " There is no turning back upon the road to truth. One must walk it to the bloody end. "
