The Blinding Knife (Lightbringer, #2)

by Brent Weeks

“When you don’t have power to compel obedience, by definition you’re making a request.

Bewildered as he might be, sometimes a man’s highest calling is simply to stand, and hug.

“A man’s got to act without knowing everything, or he’ll never do anything.”

Freedom isn’t the highest good. Power is. For without power, your freedom can be taken.”

Love is not a whim. Love is not a flower that fades with a few fleeting years. Love is a choice wedded to action, my husband, and I chose you, and I will choose you every day for the rest of my life.”
