“The Cinder King: I am the most powerful man on Canticle, offworlder, you see how they can't protest or resist? How they serve me regardless of how I treat them? I have absolute power over these. Once before I rose to before I rose to my destiny, I was a man who marched prisoners to their fates. There, I realized that true power is not in the ability to kill, but in the ability to control the killers. Auxiliary: Well, that's a perfectly normal and reasonable way of thinking, the knight observes sarcastically. I'm sure he's absolutely the most well-adjusted man on the planet, eh?” — Brandon Sanderson
