It doesn’t matter how easily you can be killed, how much Breath you have, or how you look. It has to do with who you are and what you mean. \| Llarimar to Lightsong{{book ref\|wb\|54}} }} {{quote \| So far this day I have discovered several disturbing and redefining elements of my soul which are slowly restructuring the very nature of my existence. Other than that, it was uneventful. You? \| Lightsong to Siri }} {{quote \| I've tried for years to corrupt him. Never seems to work. I can't even get him to acknowledge the theological paradox it causes when I try to tempt him to do evil. \| Lightsong, talking about Llarimar }} {{quote \| You're the one that makes us laugh, even while you insult us. Can't you see what that does? Can't you see how you've inadvertently set yourself above everyone else? You didn't do it intentionally, Lightsong, and that's what makes it work so well. In a city of frivolity, you're the only one who's shown any measure of wisdom. \| Blushweaver{{book ref\|wb\|50}} }} Warbreaker: chapters 3, 5-7, 12, 14-6, 18, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30, 32, 34, 38, 40, 42, 45, 47, 48, 50-5, 57, 58 annotations: dedication, prologue, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12-6, 18, 22-3, 25-7, 29-31, 34, 38, 42, 45, 47, 50-5, 57-8 --> {{complete}}
