Chapter | Text |
---|---|
1 | "I’m certain some will feel threatened by this record. Some few may feel liberated. Most will simply feel that it should not exist." |
2 | "I needed to write it anyway." |
4 | "I know that many women who read this will see it only as further proof that I am the godless heretic everyone claims." |
5 | "I can point to the moment when I decided for certain this record had to be written. I hung between realms, seeing into Shadesmar—the realm of the spren—and beyond." |
6 | "I thought that I was surely dead. Certainly, some who saw further than I did thought I had fallen." |
7 | "I did not die.
I experienced something worse." |
8 | "That moment notwithstanding, I can honestly say this book has been brewing in me since my youth." |
9 | "The sum of my experiences has pointed at this moment. This decision." |
10 | "Perhaps my heresy stretches back to those days in my childhood, where these ideas began." |
12 | "I ask not that you forgive me. Nor that you even understand." |
13 | "I ask only that you read or listen to these words." |
14 | "In this record, I hold nothing back. I will try not to shy away from difficult topics, or paint myself in a dishonestly heroic light." |
15 | "I will express only direct, even brutal, truth. You must know what I have done, and what those actions cost me." |
16 | "For in this comes the lesson." |
17 | "It is not a lesson I claim to be able to teach. Experience herself is the great teacher, and you must seek her directly." |
18 | "You cannot have a spice described to you, but must taste it for yourself." |
20 | "However, with a dangerous spice, you can be warned to taste lightly. I would that your lesson may not be as painful as my own." |
21 | "I am no storyteller, to entertain you with whimsical yarns." |
22 | "I am no philosopher, to intrigue you with piercing questions." |
23 | "I am no poet, to delight you with clever allusions." |
24 | "I have no doubt that you are smarter than I am. I can only relate what happened, what I have done, and then let you draw conclusions." |
25 | "I will confess my murders before you. Most painfully, I have killed someone who loved me dearly." |
27 | "I will confess my heresy. I do not back down from the things I have said, regardless of what the ardents demand." |
28 | "Finally, I will confess my humanity. I have been named a monster, and do not deny those claims. I am the monster that I fear we all can become." |
29 | "So sit back. Read, or listen, to someone who has passed between realms." |
30 | "Listen to the words of a fool." |
