i just finished book 5 of the stormlight archive and now whenever i hear the words “invest,” “honor,” “cultivate,” “cognition,” “spirit,” “shard,” or “surge” i visibly flinch
hey, I just found these great quotes! for the full effect, get anyone nearby to read them out loud to you!
“We are all already looking directly at Spirit, we just don't recognize it. We have all the necessary cognition, but not the recognition.” — Ken Wilber.
“The human spirit will not invest itself in a compromise.” — Robert Fritz.
“Stories surge up out of nowhere, and if they feel compelling, you follow them.” — Paul Auster.
“Winning without honor is worse than a loss.” — Frank Sonnenberg.
“Even in the midst of darkness, there is always a shard of light if we will but search for it hard enough and believe in it strongly enough.” — Jenelle Leanne Schmidt.
wait when you say book 5, is that book 3 part 1 or actually book 5? (i only have the first 3/6 books and am 2 part 2 atm and if there are even more books i might cry [of sadness or happiness i'm not sure])
there are five books in the series, two novellas (between words of radiance and oathbringer and between oathbringer and rhythm of war, respectively) and there are 4-5 distinct parts to each main book. I just finished wind and truth, the fifth and most recent book, as well as the final book in the first arc of the story
oh my goodness this is turning into the wheel of time
thanks for enlightening me
they’re all excellent and you should read every single one
i plan on doing so!
there is:
The Way of Kings
Words of Radiance
Edgedancer
Oathbringer
Dawnshard
Rhythm of War
Wind and Truth
