"If power is the only important thing, then Frodo loses against Sauron. Hell, if power’s the only important thing then Gandalf loses against Sauron. If magic is the deciding factor of a fight, then four plucky kids from England get their asses turned to stone by the White Which.
So yeah, Rake can turn into a dragon, but the point of fairy tales is that they teach us that dragons can be beaten."

(“And you know you cannot win, especially here,” Aslan continued. “The only question is how much you might hurt me before the end.”)

"I see too much fatalism these days, folks. The truth is that the world is full of dragons, and none of us are as powerful or cool as we’d like to be. And that sucks.

(“Soon,” Kvothe said.)

(“I call all times ’soon’” Kvothe said.)

(Kvothe smiled. “That reminds me of a joke,” he said. “How do you catch a unique lion?”)

(Kvothe continued, “How do you catch a tame lion?”)

"There’s just so much shit that is really wrong in the world. And it’s so big.

But that’s the point, isn’t it? Yeah. It’s big. What are you going to do? You can lie in bed, staring at the dark. Or you can get up and do something. "
