Edgedancer (The Stormlight Archive, #2.5)

“That’s what I’m doing. I’m discovering it. From you. Tell me, or I’ll bite you.”

“It’s worse when they think they’re your friend. Gawx, the viziers. They make assumptions. They think they know you, then start to expect things of you. Then you have to be the person everyone thinks you are, not the person you actually are.”

“I just didn’t want people expecting so much from me. If you get to know people too long, they’ll start depending on you.”
