Heir of Novron (The Riyria Revelations, #5-6)

by Michael J. Sullivan

“Happiness comes from moving toward something. When you run away, ofttimes you bring your misery with you.”

Life is like a bully that gets laughs by seeing how much humiliation you’ll put up with. It threatens to kill you if you don’t eat mud. It takes everything you care about—not because it wants what you have, or needs it. It does it just to see if you’ll take it.

‘When you expect nothing from the world—not the light of the sun, the wet of water, nor the air to breathe—everything is a wonder and every moment a gift.’ ”

A beautiful day might bring disaster, while a day that begins trapped inside an ancient tomb might be the best one of your life. If you don’t abandon hope on pleasant days, why do so on those that begin poorly?”

Their evil with me shall I take, the threat resolved, the night consumed, that thou may walk beneath the sun of a better day.
