Wind and Truth (The Stormlight Archive, #5)

by Brandon Sanderson

“If it weren’t for that capacity, then what good would choices be? If we never had the power to do terrible things, then what heroism would it be to resist?”

It’s never too late to accept that your past might not be an excuse, but it is a valid explanation.

“Listen. Remember. The question is not whether you will love, hurt, dream, and die. It is what you will love, why you will hurt, when you will dream, and how you will die. This is your choice. You cannot pick the destination, only the path.”
