Brent Weeks Quotes

Because We Know Ourselves. Because Others Obey Us As Though We Were Gods, And We Know We're Not. We See The Fragility Of Our Own Power, And Through It We See The Fragility Of Every Other Link. What If The Spectrum Suddenly Refused My Orders? Not Hard To Imagine, When You Consider The Scheming And Lust For Power It Takes To Become A Color. What If A General Suddenly Refuses His Satrap's Orders? What If A Son Refuses His Father's Orders? What If That First Link In The Great Chain Of Being - Orholam Himself - Is As Empty As Every Other Link Before Him? Seeing The Weakness Of Each Link, We Think The Great Chain Itself Is Fragile: Surely At Any Moment It Will Burst If We Don't Do Everything In Our Power To Hold It Together.
