“If the world is a book, are you the hero, or just a walk-on part?”
“Sam, there comes a time when the world no longer needs heroes. And then the true hero knows to walk away.”
“The book identifies you as part of the tribe. On the opposite extreme, there are people who will walk up to you when you’re reading a book because they think you’re lonely.”
“I know who the real hero is, and it isn't me or brave Lanaya. It's an old man with a white beard and a walking stick and a heart so big it won't let him stop thinking he can change the world by writing down things in a book no one will ever read.”
“The only heroes in the world are you and I.”
“Nobody likes for the hero to walk away.”
