THE PILLARS OF CREATION
Been re-reading these books and so here is a little book-canon (well, mostly) fancast for the SWORD OF TRUTH.
“ ‘But I can’t see how I can do it without the help of magic. I’m a nobody.’
‘A nobody,’ Althea scoffed as she leaned back. She was becoming a teacher impatient with a student doing poorly on a lesson. ‘You are somebody; you are Jennsen, a smart girl with a brain. You should not kneel before me and plead ignorance, telling me what you cannot do while asking instead for others to do for you.
‘If you want to be a slave in life, then continue going around asking for others to do for you. They will oblige, but you will find the price is your choices, your freedom, your life itself. They will do for you, and as a result you will be in bondage to them forever, having given your identity away for a paltry price. Then, and only then, you will be a nobody, a slave, because you yourself and nobody else made it so.’ ”
