More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
You're a very difficult person to manipulate, you know. Nonsense, he said. You just have to promise me that I won't have to do a thing, and then I'll do anything you want. Anything? Anything that doesn't require doing anything. That's nothing, then. Is it? Yes. Well, that's something.
Brandon Sanderson
People see in stories what they’re looking for, my young friend.
Brandon Sanderson
Well, then, he said. Let's do it. What? Vin asked. Save the world. Elend said. Stop the ash.
Brandon Sanderson
To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.
Brandon Sanderson
Breeze turned to look out the window. You were always the best of us, Sazed, he said quietly. Because you believed in something.
Brandon Sanderson
You see, that is the sad, sorry, terrible thing about sarcasm. It's really funny.
Brandon Sanderson
The entire point of life is to find ways to get others to do your work for you. Don’t you know anything about basic economics?
Brandon Sanderson
What did it mean to be called “lord”? I’ll assume you’ve never had the honor, since I doubt any of you happen to be British royalty. (And, if by chance you are, then let me say, “Hello, Your Majesty! Welcome to my stupid book. Can I borrow some cash?”)
Brandon Sanderson
Hmmmm Light makes shadow. Truth makes lies. Hmmmm.
Brandon Sanderson
Men protect things they find important, Galladon said with a shrug. If you object, you shouldn't have made yourself so irreplaceable.Kolo? -Brandon Sanderson (Elantris)
Brandon Sanderson
Men rarely see their own actions as unjustified.
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
Faith means that it doesn't matter what happens. You can trust that somebody is watching. Trust that somebody will make it all right.
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
The motivations of men. They never make sense. And they always make sense.
Brandon Sanderson
That isn’t greatness. That’s just foolishness.
Brandon Sanderson
I want you to go back into the barrack and tell the men to come out after the storm. Tell them to look up at me tied here. Tell them I’ll open my eyes and look back at them, and they’ll know hat I survived.
Brandon Sanderson
...somehow the old philosophers could make even the most salacious topics seem boring.
Brandon Sanderson
Though most expect young men to be fools, I've noticed that just a little bit of age can make a man far more foolish than he was as a child.
Brandon Sanderson
It was strange, how easily and quickly protection could cause destruction. Sometimes, Vasher wondered if the two weren't really the same thing. Protect a flower, destroy pests who wanted to feed on it. Protect a building, destroy the plants that could have grown in the soil. Protect a man. Live with the destruction he creates.
