“Sleep marks passing time, giving us distance from the things that have hurt us. When a person is wounded they will often fall unconscious. Similarly, someone who hears traumatic news will often swoon or faint. This is the mind's way of protecting itself from pain.” WayGivingMindPersonsPainFallHurtSleepNewsMarkDistancePassingPassingsUnconsciousWoundedName Of The Wind Book:The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chonicle: Source: The Name of the Wind: The Kingkiller Chonicle:
“I do everything one at a time, one day at a time. It's the only way I can do all what I want. I stopped watching [most of] the news and entertainment shows.
