He patted the side of the wyrm's head. The animal did not react: it was a stone fallen from the sky, still smoldering.

About This Quote

When we first meet a person, it may seem as though the person is distant and disconnected. But over time, as we get to know them better, we come to realize that they are quite different from the way we first perceived them. We see that they have an essence or character that is consistent and true to themselves. They also possess a wisdom and perspective that we may not possess.

When we first meet a person, their actions and words may seem like stone and not capable of change. But over time, we see that their actions and words change even when we do not see it happen. This type of perception is par excellence the characteristic of a wyrm: it remains unchanged except by its own will.
