Quotes from the Stormlight archive that keep me going
“The most important words a man can say are ‘I will do better’”
“The most important step a man can take is the next one”
“It will [get worse]. But then it will get better. Then it will get worse again. Then better. This is life, and I will not lie by saying that every day will be sunshine, but there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth. I promise you Kaladin, you will be warm again” (also just the entire Dog and Dragon stuff)
“Journey before destination,” Dalinar said. “It cannot be a journey if it doesn’t have a beginning … I will take responsibility for what I have done,” Dalinar whispered. “If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man.”
And, of course
“Life before Death. Strength Before Weakness. Journey Before Destination.”

Men often described the girl as having hair the color of wheat. Others called it the color of caramel, or occasionally the color of honey. The girl wondered why men so often used food to describe women's features. There was a hunger to such men that was best avoided.

If bravery is the wind that makes us soar like kites, fear is the string that keeps us from going too far.
