I have been staring at this for far too long.
I wonder if,” Nynaeve said, “We sometimes put the White Tower - as an institution - before the people we serve. I wonder if we let it become a goal in itself, instead of a means to help us achieve greater goals.
“Devotion is important, Nynaeve. The White Tower protects and guides the world.”
“And yet, so many of us do it without families,” Nynaeve said. “Without love, without passion beyond our own particular interests. So even while we try to guide the world, we separate ourselves from it. We risk arrogance, Egwene. We always assume we know best, but risk making ourselves unable to fathom the people we claim to serve”.
—“The Towers of Midnight”, 13th novel in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Substitute the words “White Tower” for “the government” or “the church” or “the UN” and we have a very astute political commentary, disguised as an allegory. I applaud you, both Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. That such a truth comes from the lips of my favourite character in the series is wonderful too. (via athena-the-elusive)
bookstores and libraries should be like churches, man
you’re not allowed to judge anyone in a bookstore no matter what kind of books they’re looking at
literary nuts can read trashy romance novels
adults can sit cross legged on the floor and read picture books
…
Reblog if you have mourned the death of a fictional character.
If you do not reblog this you are in fact lying.
