What are some of your best worldbuilding quotes in literature?
Here's one, from The Name of the Wind
“When the hearthfire turns to blue, what to do? what to do? run outside, run and hide
when his eyes are black as crow? where to go? where to go? near and far. Here they are.
see a man without a face? move like ghosts from place to place. whats their plan? whats their plan? Chandrian. Chandrian”
Bonus: Try guessing what it describes assuming you have zero knowledge of the source material.
