Quote by Sarah J. Maas

“You're my friend.' The words hung between them. His head dipped again, as if he could hide the expression on his face as he amended, 'If you would like me to be.' For a moment, she stared at him. The offer thrown out there. The quiet vulnerability. It erased any annoyance still in her veins. 'Didn't you know, Athalar?' The tentative hope in his face nearly destroyed her. 'We've been friends from the moment you thought Jelly Jubilee was a dildo.”

“As you delineate the contours of your ambition, remain vigilant to the strengths and weaknesses of those who surround you. Friends and foes alike can be woven into your tapestry, either as allies to be cultivated or as obstacles to be overcome. Like a skilled chess player, anticipate the moves of your opponents, and prepare to outmaneuver them with foresight and guile.”

“In the quest for power, enemies will rise against you, and even trusted allies may reveal themselves as false friends. It is crucial to recognize the motivations and ambitions of those around you, discerning true loyalty from deceitful intentions.
