Quotes by Dave Roman (?)

“A journey of self-discovery is never pointless, Prince Zuko. However dim your path may seem, and however far you may wander from it...the important thing is that you learn from all of your mistakes along the way and never forget for one moment who you are, or what you are struggling to be.”
― Dave Roman, The Last Airbender: Prequel - Zuko's Story

tags: finding-yourself, self-discovery, staying-true-to-yourself

“Our inner fire is the spark of hope that drives us through even the darkest times. Do not be so quick to dismiss it.”
― Dave Roman, The Last Airbender: Prequel - Zuko's Story

“Months passed away without dreams about the Agni Ki…or my father. My new life began to find new rhythm. But then…as suddenly as it always does…everything changed.”

Dave’s Quotes

“If an optimist had his left arm chewed off by an alligator, he might say in a pleasant and hopeful voice, "Well this isn't too bad, I don't have a left arm anymore but at least nobody will ever ask me if I'm left-handed or right-handed," but most of us would say something more along the lines of, "Aaaaaa! My arm! My arm!”
― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid
