Book cover for Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth, #1)
The light of a new day always chases the shadows of the night away, and shows us that the shape of our fears is only the ghost of our own minds.

James Luceno
“Uncertainty is the first step toward self-determination,” Plagueis said. “Courage comes next.”
James Luceno, Darth Plagueis

Ayn Rand
“The giants of the intellect, whom you admire so much, once taught you that the earth was flat and that the atom was the smallest particle of matter. The entire history of science is a progression of exploded fallacies, not of achievements.”
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Frank Herbert
“All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.”
Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune

Ayn Rand
“Why struggle to discover the world if you can make it become whatever you wish--by wishing?”
Ayn Rand, The Return of the Primitive: The Anti-Industrial Revolution

Ayn Rand
“There are no 'rights' of special groups, there are no 'rights of farmers, of workers, of businessmen, of employees, of employers, of the young, of the old, of the unborn.' There are only the Rights of Man -- rights possessed by every individual man and by all men as individuals.”
Ayn Rand, The Virtue of Selfishness: A New Concept of Egoism
