“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”
― The Name of the Wind
― The Name of the Wind
“Y creo que te quiero de verdad:
porque no te necesito
y aún asi no quiero que te vayas,
porque eres verdad sobre toda mi vida
y tu cara parece un logro sobre esta losa que me arrastra,
un beso a la flor marchita de mi lápida,
porque meciste mi mano para escribir mis temores
de una forma tan suave que pareció una caricia
y ya no tengo miedo más allá de mi misma,
porque me has hecho amar
aquello en lo que dejé de creer
y meciéndote un cielo y un nombre de diosa,
te quedas en mi tierra.”

“It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.”

“Your new life is going to cost you your old one.
It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense
of direction.
It’s going to cost you relationships and friends.
It’s going to cost you being liked and understood.
It doesn’t matter.
The people who are meant for you are going to meet you
on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort
zone around the things that actually move you forward.
Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of
being understood, you’re going to be seen.
All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you
no longer are.”
