So, there I was, tied to an altar made from outdated encyclopedias, about to get sacrificed to the dark powers by a cult of evil Librarians.
Brandon Sanderson
Authority doesn't come from a rank., Kaladin said, fingering the spheres in his pocket. Where does it come from? From the men who give it to you. That's the only way to get it.
Brandon Sanderson
Faith means that it doesn't matter what happens. You can trust that somebody is watching. Trust that somebody will make it all right.
