Argent Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I've been trying to figure out how I want to personalize my leatherbound copy of Elantris for close to two weeks now, and nothing comes to mind. I don't want to ask a question, I want the book to have more of a dedication, but I can't think of anything beyond my name. With other books I usually go with a quote from the book, but the only two that are both short enough and powerful enough (to me) from this one are "Elantris was beautiful once" and "Eternity ended 10 years ago", and neither one of them feels like a good personalization to me. Plus, leatherbound books have a very collector's feel, and I want them to be somewhat... special. I think I can afford to wait a few days, so help me maybe?

tobar14 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Here are some good ones I found: "Pain Loses power when other things become more important" “Joy was more than just an absence of discomfort.” "remove our comforts, and we become animals.” “Those who can least afford extravagance seem to be the ones most determined to spend what they have left.” “All things must progress, and progression is not always a steady incline.” "it takes a fine sense of pessimism to brood with any sort of respectability.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Which are all great quotes, but none of them strike me, well, personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstRainbowRose Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Maybe a quote between raoden and sarene? Either that or something said as raoden is being put in the spoilers. (On mobile, so tags are hard.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I am not (necessarily) asking for quote suggestions, by the way. I am okay with quotes, as long as they click with me, but I am also definitely okay with a personalization that doesn't come from the book. My original idea was to ask for my name written with the Aonic alphabet, but that turned out to be unreasonably hard for both me and Brandon. So I am definitely open to creative ideas.

Thunder_93 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I know your problem... I'm still trying to figure something out as well, but it seems like I'm at the same stage as you are... whenever I get a good idea, I'll let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadoxicalZen Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Perhaps Raoden's coat of arms? Providing he has one of course Edited December 10, 2015 by ParadoxSpren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormgate Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Maybe write a ketek. You know, the poem that reads the same forwards and backwards. example: "Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?" I did not make that. Thank the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
