Enourmous, rectangular stained-glass windows ran in rows along the hall, and the strange, powerful lights outside shone on them directly, throwing a cascade of colors across the room.
Ohhhh, ok, that’s what the bonfires were for! Dang, way to use a space, wow. This sounds so ethereal!

The philosophy of organism is a cell-theory of actuality. Each ultimate unit of fact is a cell-complex, not analyzable into components with equivalent completeness of actuality.
…
In the genetic theory, the cell is exhibited as appropriating for the foundation of its own existence, the various elements of the universe out of which it arises. Each process of appropriation of a particular element is termed a prehension. The ultimate elements of the universe, thus appropriated, are the already constituted actual entities, and the eternal objects. All the actual entities are positively prehended, but only a selection of the eternal objects. …
An actual entity is a process in the course of which many operations with incomplete subjective unity terminate in a completed unity of operation, termed the ‘satisfaction.’ The ‘satisfaction’ is the contentment of the creative urge by the fulfilment of its categoreal demands. ..
The process itself is the constitution of the actual entity …
The terminal unity of operation, here called the ‘satisfaction,’ embodies what the actual entity is beyond itself. In Locke’s phraseology, the ‘powers’ of the actual entity are discovered in the analysis of the satisfaction … It is the actual entity as a definite, determinate, settled fact, stubborn and with unavoidable consequences. … The satisfaction of each actual entity is an element in the givenness of the universe: it limits boundless, abstract possibility into the particular real potentiality from which each novel concrescence originates. The ‘boundless, abstract possibility’ means the creativity considered solely in reference to the possibilities of the intervention of eternal objects, and in abstraction from the objective intervention of actual entities belonging to any definite actual world, including God among the actualities abstracted from.

‘What am I doing?’ she thought frantically. She could challenge mist and Allomancy, thieves and burglaries, mist wraiths and beatings. Yet, facing these nobleman and their ladies... going amongst them in the light, visible, unable to hide... this terrified her.

"Competence is highly dependent on context."
"The key is to direct your effort toward areas that both excite you and match your natural skills, to align your ambition with your ability."

One second on the Earth was one second throughout the universe. This conception was overthrown by Einstein, who showed that time was more like a river that meandered across the universe, speeding up and slowing down as it snaked across stars and galaxies, So one second on the Earth is not absolute; time varies when we move around the universe.

My parents are clever like that. They knew I would do a better job of berating myself for being an idiot than they ever could and that waiting for the punishment was much worse than the actual punishment. The tick tick tick is much worse than the boom .
