The Blinding Knife (Lightbringer, #2)

by Brent Weeks

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

“All the world is armed,” Gavin said. “I’ve got to have my back to half of it.”

Take my kindness, but don’t trust so much, so easily.

Put on some armor. Just remember what’s armor and what’s you, so when it’s time to take it off, you can.”

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

“Evil is simple and empty. Evil has no mysterious depths. We stare into a dark hole and fill it with our fears, but it is only a hole.”

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.”
