Yes! That was an amazing passage - IIRC he called the pub "the Temple of the Common Man." Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+robardin Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 The religions in my portfolio weren't useless after all... None of them were. They weren't all true. But they all had truth. As someone who is presently agnostic but has spent a lot of time researching most of the world's major religions, dead and alive, in a search for meaning, this really hit home.

I didn't think Sanderson could turn up the volume on the feel-o-meter with the Immortal Words, past Teft's summary of it in the chasms: "Journey before destination. ... In the end, all men die. How you lived will be far more important to the Almighty than what you accomplished." And then Dalinar had to go there: "YOU CANNOT HAVE MY PAIN! ... If I pretend I didn't do those things, it means I can't have grown to become someone else. Journey before destination. It cannot be a journey if it doesn't have a beginning." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
