“Ah, ah. No releas, Paul. Eres muy joven, y aquellos que releen tienden a llenarse de la sabiduría inadecuada antes de tiempo. Ahora tienes que leer, leer todo lo que puedas, lo más heterogéneo posible. Sólo cuando llegas a mis años sabes que aquello que relees no es una pérdida de tiempo.”

“―Linette.
Un susurro. Eso era todo lo que había llegado hasta sus oídos. Una brisa que el ambiente había traído hasta ella, pero fue suficiente para que sus ojos parpadearan incrédulos y sus pies dieran un paso hacia delante sin siquiera pensar en ello.
Había alguien.
«No estoy sola».”

“¿Es el intelecto del genio lo que reverenciamos? [...] Dadas dos obras de majestuosidad artística, sopesadas por igual, daremos más valor a quien la hizo primero. No importa lo que crees. Importa que lo crees antes que nadie. No es la belleza lo que admiramos, ni la fuerza del intelecto, ni la inventiva, ni la estética, ni la capacidad misma. El mayor talento que creemos que puede tener un hombre debe ser la novedad.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance
