I recently finished reading Oatherbringer by Brian Sanderson and the following quote has stuck with me.

“journey before destination.” Some may call it a simple platitude, but it is far more. A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us.

But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one.

Does anyone else have a quote from a book or game or anything that has stuck with them like this?
 
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift... that's why they call it present”

- Master Oogway​
 
I also love this quote from Person Of Interest

"Where were you when Flight 77 hit the Pentagon? Because I was inside it. I covered up the wounded. I carried out bodies. And I have spent every day since putting bullets in the people responsible, and in anyone else who even thinks that they can do that to our country again. You want to shoot me because I had to tap a few phone calls, read a few e-mails, then you go right ahead. But you better turn that gun on yourself next, [Spoiler redacted], because you have broken just as many laws, and the only difference is I didn't wrap myself up in the American flag and try to convince people that I was a hero."
