“My breakthrough was when I began to write during my commute, at first taking notes on my Palm Pilot, and then moving on to writing full prose on the tiny QWERTY keyboard of my iPaq smartphone.

Kally screamed as her arms burned, but she held the creature under until its thrashes stopped.”

Peter V. Brett, The Desert Spear“Let others determine your worth and you're already lost, because no one wants people worth more than themselves.”
Peter V. Brett, The Warded Man“Why are you doing this?” Amanvah whispered, her accent thick like her mother’s, but every word clear. “My mother would not be so kind to one who tried to poison her.”“Nor would mine, but we are not our mothers, Amanvah,” Leesha said.”
