“"There is a sound beneath everything. Not a sound you hear -- a sound you are. Every atom of your body vibrates with it. Every stone, every leaf, every drop of water. It is the last breath of the voice that made us. It is fading. And when it stops, we stop."”

Marginalia
View all →“The Merchant Council prefers to say Talor was chosen because it was the largest city, the most cosmopolitan, the natural crossroads of diplomacy. All true. But the deeper truth was simpler: Talor was the city with the most to lose. The Blight was sixty miles east. The refugee camps had tripled the population. The granaries were half-empty. The market square, cracked by the earthquake of the Breaking, had been repaired with mismatched stone that reminded everyone, every day, that the world had broken and the cracks had only been plastered over.”

The Sundering
"I have heard old men argue about whether the gods loved us or used us. I stood in Talor on the second day and watched the sky come apart like wet parchment. Love or use, it does not matter. We were beneath them, and beneath is where things are crushed."

The Binding of the Song
"The cruelest chains are the ones the prisoner cannot feel. The cruelest prisons are the ones that look like gardens. And the cruelest masters are the ones who believe, with perfect sincerity, that what they have done is kindness."
