“We achieve perfection first by acknowledging our failures. We increase understanding first by recognizing our ignorance.”
― Pierce Brown, Light Bringer

“We are in constant struggle, the self and the community, where in our hearts we need to decide where one line ends and another begins. For some, this is a matter of religion, the unquestioned edicts of a professed god or gods, but for most, I would hope, it is a realization of the basic truth that the community, the society, is a needed component in the preservation of the self, both materially and spiritually.”
― R.A. Salvatore, The Companions

“Nice comes from the Latin word for “stupid”,”
― R.F. Kuang, Babel

“One of the most common truths of life is that we all take for granted things that simply are. Whether a spouse, a friend, a family, or a home, after enough time has passed, that person, place, or situation becomes the accepted norm of our lives. It is not until we confront the unexpected, not until the normal is no more, that we truly come to appreciate what once we had.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Charon's Claw
