The Flame and the Void. After everything has been fed to the flame there is only the emptyness, the oneness.
"Do you believe that a man must be hard? Or strong?"
"Most men see the two as the one and the same, Cadsuane Melaidhrin. Strong endures; hard shatters."
"The boy confuses them,He needs to be strong, and makes himself harder. Too hard, already, and he will not stop until he is stopped. He has forgotten how to laugh except in bitterness; there are no tears left in him. Unless he finds laughter and tears again, the world faces disaster. He must learn that even the Dragon Reborn is flesh. If he goes to Tarmon Gai'don as he is, even his victory may be as dark as his defeat."
