The sudden and abrupt removal of my all-consuming goal ... well, it was like I was a donut, and somebody had sucked all the jelly out of me. But I could stuff new jelly in there. It would just get my hands a little sticky in the process.
Brandon Sanderson
Oh, I’m just a happy person.
Brandon Sanderson
I'm Galladon, from the sovereign realm of Duladel. I'm most recently from Elantris, land of sludge, insanity, and eternal perdition. Nice to meet you.
Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson
It's like a banana farm for guns!
