Control yourself. Become someone who can handle this.
Brandon Sanderson
My behavior is nonetheless, deplorable. Unfortunately, I'm quite prone to such bouts of deplorability--take for instance, my fondness for reading books at the dinner table.
Brandon Sanderson
Llarimar had told him to do his best. That sounded like an awful lot of work. Unfortunately, doing nothing was beginning to seem like even MORE work.
Brandon Sanderson
War is far worse. At least where politics is going on, there are usually nice hors d’oeuvres.
Brandon Sanderson
Nothing will train you to write better as a writer, than working on your next book.
Brandon Sanderson
You are nothing if not exhaustive in your self-congratulatory made-up logic.
Brandon Sanderson
Remember, despite the fact that this book is being sold as a 'fantasy' novel, you must take all of the things it says extremely seriously, as they are quite important, are in no way silly, and always make sense. Rutabaga.
Brandon Sanderson
...somehow the old philosophers could make even the most salacious topics seem boring.
Brandon Sanderson
Men had always told Kaladin that he fought like nobody else. He’d felt it on the first day he’d picked up a quarterstaff, though Tukks’s advice had helped him refine and channel what he could do. Kaladin had cared when he fought. He’d never fought empty or cold. He fought to keep his men alive
Brandon Sanderson
My name is Stephen Leeds, and I am perfectly sane. My hallucinations, however, are all quite mad.
Brandon Sanderson
In the end, I must proclaim that no good can be achieved of false means. For the substance of our existence is not in the achievement, but in the method.
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
That isn’t greatness. That’s just foolishness.
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
Small things were important. Secods were small things, and if you heaped enough of those on top of one another, they became a man's life.
Brandon Sanderson
It seems that the rebels found the chaos of transition more difficult to accept than the tyranny they had known before. They joyfully welcomed back authority-even oppressive authority-for it was less painful for them than uncertainty.
Brandon Sanderson
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
It is you! the man exclaimed. We thought you weren't coming for another week! Ashe, Sarene mumbled, who is this lunatic and what does he want with me?
Brandon Sanderson
It's all right Wayne, Waxillium said softly. I've made a promise. I told Lord Harms I'd return Steris to him. And I will. That is that. Then I will remain and help, Marasi said. That is that. And I could really use some food, Wayne added. Fat is fat.
Brandon Sanderson
Wayne's a little attached to that hat, Waxillium said. He thinks it's lucky. Wayne: It is lucky. I ain't never died while wearing that hat. Marasi frowned. I ... I'm not sure I know how to respond. Wax: That's a common reaction to Wayne.
