“I've never told Liat. About who I am. Do you think ... Maati, can you love someone and not trust them?"

"We're born to odd lives, Otah-kvo," Maati said, sounding suddenly older and more sorrowful. "If we waited for people we trusted, I think we might never love anyone.”
― Daniel Abraham, A Shadow in Summer

“Answers are like opium: the more you imbibe, the more you need. Which is why the sober man finds solace in mystery.”
― R. Scott Bakker, The Darkness That Comes Before

“People don’t change to suit their god; they change their god to suit them.”
― Steven Erikson, Toll the Hounds

“It’s the problem in seeing too much of the world. In loving too much of it. You can only live in one place at a time. And eventually, you pick your spot, and the memories of all the others just become ghosts.”
― Daniel Abraham, A Betrayal in Winter
