"The Maidens had broken her...Eagerness to avoid more punishment because eagerness to obey. The mind never wanted to admit it was running from something, so she would soon convince herself that she really wanted to obey, that she really wanted nothing more than to please the Maidens" You would think I would remember a passage I keep thinking of as an important thematic illustration of perspective in WoT.
