Brandon Sanderson
Fantasy has had some problems with being too repetitive, in my opinion. I try to read what other people are doing - and say, 'How can I add to this rather than just recycle it? How can I stand on Tolkien's shoulders rather than stand tied to his kneecaps?
Brandon Sanderson
War is far worse. At least where politics is going on, there are usually nice hors d’oeuvres.
Brandon Sanderson
But you can't kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that one thing you've never been able to kill, no matter how hard you try. I am hope.
Brandon Sanderson
What is belief - what is faith - if you don't continue it after failure?
Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson
There are no endings, and never will be endings, to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was an ending.
Brandon Sanderson
