"If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendour of the Mighty One... I am become Death, The shatterer of worlds." - Oppenheimer quoting the Bhagavad Gita.
It is the places where crystals are broken, or imperfect, where you find rainbows. People can be like that, too. We shine brightest from the places where we’re hurt the deepest. Rainbows trace our wounds so that some of us sparkle and dance in the light with so many colors. Each one a badge of joy to show we not only survived, but thrived. - Laurell K Hamilton

A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us.
But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fail, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination.
-Dalinar Kholin, Oathbringer
"All I can say is that you make me... you make me into someone I couldn't even imagine. You make me happy, even when you're awful. I would rather be with you - even the you that you seem to think is diminished - than with anyone else in the world."
"No matter what kind of wisdom dictates you the option you pick, no one will be able to tell if it's right or wrong until you arrive to some sort of outcome from your choice."
"The Creed of the Assassin's Brotherhood teaches us that nothing is forbidden to us. Once, I thought that meant we were free to do as we would. To pursue our ideals, no matter the cost. I understand now. Not a grant of permission. The Creed is a warning. Ideals too easily give way to dogma. Dogma becomes fanaticism. No higher power sits in judgement of us. No supreme being watches to punish us for our sins. In the end, only we ourselves can guard against our obsessions. Only we can decide whether the road we walk carries too high a toll.
We believe ourselves redeemers, avengers, saviors. We make war on those who oppose us, and they in turn make war on us. We dream of leaving our stamp upon the world...even as we give our lives in a conflict that will be recorded in no history book. All that we do, all that we are, begins and ends with ourselves."
Arno Dorian, circa 1780 CE
(Assassin's Creed Unity)
