Mirror Gate (Harbinger, #2)

by Jeff Wheeler

Vanity comes naturally to all of us. Every human is, to their own mind, the center of all known worlds—the axle on which it all turns. And yet their knowledge is but their own perception of the things around them, and their feelings are inescapably colored by their perceptions of the world’s wants and its merits.

É difícil descalçar os nossos sapatos, e se não tivermos isso em consideração talvez nunca os tiremos. E se nunca os tirarmos, nunca vamos ser verdadeiramente felizes. Porque a verdadeira felicidade é alcançada em conjunto.

A person is but the product of their thoughts. What I think, I become. The challenge is in the taming of the maelstrom.

“For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.”
