More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
I try to avoid having thoughts. They lead to other thoughts, and—if you’re not careful—those lead to actions. Actions make you tired. I have this on rather good authority from someone who once read it in a book.
Brandon Sanderson
Oh my lovely princess,Raoden whispered. You probably mean well, but handing these people food is the worst thing you could do to them. -Brandon Sanderson(Elantris)

It was strange, how easily and quickly protection could cause destruction. Sometimes, Vasher wondered if the two weren't really the same thing.

Brandon Sanderson
What is it we value? Innovation. Originality. Novelty. But most importantly...timeliness. I fear you may be too late, my confused, unfortunate, friend.
Brandon Sanderson
I killed you once, the Lord Ruler said, turning back to Kelsier. You tried, Kelsier replied, his voice loud and firm, carrying across the square. But you can't kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that thing you've never been able to kill no matter how hard you try. I am hope.
Brandon Sanderson
Belief? Yes, Sazed said. Tell me, Mistress. What is it that you believe? Vin frowned. What kind of question is that? The most important kind, I think.
Brandon Sanderson
Marsh: Our best efforts were never even a mild annoyance to the Lord Ruler. Kelsier: Ah, but being an annoyance is something that I am very good at. In fact, I'm far more than just a 'mild' annoyance--people tell me I can be downright frustrating. Might as well use this talent for the cause of good, eh?
Brandon Sanderson
That's the point, isn't it? We have to live on, no matter how hard it gets. We'll win in the end.
Brandon Sanderson
If we must put our head into the lion’s mouth, let us make certain that he chokes upon our flesh!
Brandon Sanderson
The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.
