Are there any religions on your list that include the slaughter of noblemen as a holy duty?
Brandon Sanderson
Those who take lightly promises they make to those they love are people who find little lasting satisfaction in life. This is not an easy time in which to live. That does not mean that it has to be a difficult time to love, but it does mean that you will find unusual stresses upon your lives and your relationship.

You know, I was a nerdy kid going through high school, and then I got to college and that all vanished. I mean, a lot of my good friends - when we were in high school, we would never have been able to hang out together because we were in such different cliques or whatever. Now, who cares?
Brandon Sanderson

Have you finally grown so jealous of my impeccable fashion sense that you've decided to have me disposed of?
Brandon Sanderson
You're a mean old man, Your Grace. And that is the way it should be. Roial informed. Mean young men are trivial, and kindly old men boring. Here, let me get us something to drink.
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.
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
It sounds to me, young one, Haddek said, that you are searching for something that cannot be found. The truth? Sazed said. No, Haddek replied. A religion that requires no faith of its believers.
Brandon Sanderson
I will protect those who cannot protect themselves.
Brandon Sanderson
Remember, the past need not become our future as well.
Brandon Sanderson
The motivations of men. They never make sense. And they always make sense.
