Deep within, there is something profoundly known, not consciously, but subconsciously. A quiet truth, that is not a version of something, but an original knowing.

It is so self-sustaining that our recognition of it is not required. We are offspring’s of such a powerfully divine force — Creator of all things known and unknown.T.F. Hodge

"I can understand why you arrived at that conclusion-determination has served you well in your adventures-but no. I meant the tool most necessary to choose the best course of action in any given situation. Determination is as common among men who are dull and foolish as it is among those who are brilliant intellects. So, no, determination cannot be what we're looking for.Christopher Paolini
