Ileni swallowed hard. "Yes, " she said. "I am. But it's all going to be the same, for a very long time. The sorcerers will have all the power, and the assassins will eventually regather and start attacking again.. and I haven't made any difference at all."" Well, " Evin said, "I think you've made quite a bit of difference to the people whose lives you saved. Speaking as one of them." She stepped away from the edge, closer to him. "Do you regret it?" he asked evenly. His face was half-shadowed, but his eyes were bright and piercing. Not wide with pain and devoid of hope. She felt again his hand, limp and helpless in hers. Felt it tighten as Sorin plummeted past the gray rock. "No, " she said. And for at least that moment, it was entirely true. Leah Cypess
About This Quote

When we first meet someone, we don't fully know them. We can't predict their behavior because they haven't revealed it to us yet. We can only guess what kind of person they are by the way they behave, what kind of life they have led, and what kind of future they might have. However, when people spend a lot of time with another person, we get to see their true nature.

We see how they treat others and how they interact with the world around them. We also find out the deeper things about them, like their hopes and dreams for their future. When someone makes a positive impact on other people's lives, it is all the more meaningful because the person who came into their life was not expecting that impact in return.
