“But when it comes to human beings, the only type of cause that matters is final cause, the purpose. What a person had in mind. Once you understand what people really want, you can't hate them anymore. You can fear them, but you can't hate them, because you can always find the same desires in your own heart.”
― Orson Scott Card, Speaker for the Dead

“No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name.

― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
