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
You are nothing if not exhaustive in your self-congratulatory made-up logic.
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
Actually, [Wax] said, we came here because we needed someplace safe to think for a few hours. Ranette: Your mansion isn't safe? Wax: My butler failed to poison me, then tried to shoot me, then set off an explosive in my study Ranette: Huh.... You need to screen these people better, Wax.

Vin shook her head. No, not me. I'm not a good person or a bad person. I'm just here to kill things. OreSeur watched her for a moment, then settled back down. Regardless, he said, you are not my worst master. That is, perhaps, a compliment among our people.
Brandon Sanderson
Vin snorted, kneeling in the low tent as she pulled her belt tight then she crawled over to him. I don't know how you read while riding, she said. Oh, it's quite easy - if you aren't afraid of horses. I'm not afraid of them, Vin said. They just don't like me. They know I can outrun them, and that makes them surly.
Brandon Sanderson
The number 1 thing that I don't want to see in a story is when characters exist simply to be proven wrong.
Brandon Sanderson

Joy was more than just an absence of discomfort.
Brandon Sanderson
There are two kinds of people in this world, son. Those who save lives, and those who take lives. And what of those who protect and defend? Those who save lives by taking lives? That's like trying to stop a storm by blowing harder. Ridiculous. You can't protect by killing.
