Light Bringer (Red Rising Saga, #6)

by Pierce Brown

The path is made of many stones that look all the same. When you trod upon evil, do not rest or look down because goodness is only a step away.

The next may bring ruin, the next joy, but these stones are not your destination, they are but your journey to the path’s end.

We achieve perfection first by acknowledging our failures. We increase understanding first by recognizing our ignorance.

“If you wish to be repaired, you must first be broken,”

how can you lead if you cannot walk—and how can you walk if you fear every step?

Forgetting is essential to learning, just as exhaling is essential to breathing. Breathe out, then in. Find the self, then lose it once again. Thus, the path goes ever onward.

Forgetting is essential to learning, just as exhaling is essential to breathing.

In the cold prison of our minds, we are alone with our self-hatred, our doubts, and guilt. No one more than Sevro. A friend may reach through the bars and hold our hand, but they cannot open the door for us.

Only the prisoner has the key. All I can do is remind him we’re waiting for him when he gets out.
