by Brent Weeks

To share, simply to speak the truth to a person who cared, was unfathomably precious.

“You’ve got choices to make, but here’s another hard truth: you can’t be whatever you want to be. The list of things you’ll never be is a long one—even if you do live forever.

“A wolf might become a wolfhound, son, but it will never be a lap dog.”

“Not a road, a battle. Sometimes life is our battlefield. We must do what we know to do, not what we want to do.”
