Ammanas Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I need help from the Hive Mind! I'm about 90% sure its a Sanderson quote (if its not I'm going to be embarrassed). I think Stormlight Archives, but not sure about that. Anyways the quote is about the key to happiness isn't desperately clinging to individual moments, but living a life so that such moments keep happening.

RShara she/her Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Looks like WoR is what you're looking for. Spoiler Chapter 13, Shallan's PoV Unable to wait any longer, Shallan dug into her meal. Adolin settled down across from her and attacked his own food. For a time, Shallan ignored her pain and savored the moment—good food, good company, the setting sun casting ruby and topaz light across the mountains and into the room. She felt like drawing this scene, but knew it was the type of moment she couldn’t capture on a page. It wasn’t about content or composition, but the pleasure of living. The trick to happiness wasn’t in freezing every momentary pleasure and clinging to each one, but in ensuring one’s life would produce many future moments to anticipate.
