Give me epic fantasies with thousands of pages, too many characters to keep track of, and a fight between good and evil. 🗡️ Currently Working Through: Full Cosmere reread | The Wheel of Time

Words are insufficient. This was a reread, and still this book makes me feel things on a soul-deep level. It's like this book reaches into my very psyche to grab hold of me. I'm sitting here and just basking in how it feels to reach the end of this book. I wish I could infuse this feeling into everyone I meet.

These are my favorites that I share whenever prompted! 😄
"I know you don't believe it, but I promise you, life will carry you through. You'll even get to like each other afterwards." –Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky (David McDuff translation)
"But you can't kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that thing you've never been able to kill, no matter how hard you try. I am hope." –Mistborn: The Final Empire, Brandon Sanderson
"Her smile, which she let out readily, warmed him. She was proof that, despite his dislike of the politics in the Basin, it had good people. Genuine people. ... She was gorgeous. Like an uncut emerald sitting in the middle of a pile of fakes cut to sparkle, but really just glass." –The Bands of Mourning, Brandon Sanderson
"You cannot have my pain." –Oathbringer, Brandon Sanderson
"If ever I've felt that there was a God, it is now as I listen to the mournful chords." –Red Rising, Pierce Brown
"Even now." –Age of War, Michael J. Sullivan (which I know isn't much, but in context... 💔)
I love a good book quote of any kind, so I wanted to see some highlights! I’m sure current/recent reads are fresh on the mind, but maybe you’re like me and note down ones that catch your attention too lol
Whether it’s funny, thought-provoking, shocking, poetic, hopeful, informative, sorrowful, or just something that sticks in the brain, show me your favourites (and least favourites if you like)!
And please feel free to put multiple if you’re undecided, half the time I also can’t choose and I’d love to see them all.
