I'm Teoish, Sarene said, successfully spearing something that looked like a marinated piece of shrimp. We're all this tall. Father's Teoish too, Kaise, Daorn said. And you know how tall he is. But father's fat, Kaise pointed out. Why aren't you fat too, Sarene?

You are nothing if not exhaustive in your self-congratulatory made-up logic.
Brandon Sanderson
We follow the codes not because they bring gain, but because we loathe the people we would otherwise become.
Brandon Sanderson
So, there I was, tied to an altar made from outdated encyclopedias, about to get sacrificed to the dark powers by a cult of evil Librarians.
Brandon Sanderson
I am what the universe made me to be, my dear.
Brandon Sanderson
If we must put our head into the lion’s mouth, let us make certain that he chokes upon our flesh!
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
Oh, I’m just a happy person.
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

Brandon Sanderson
Do not deride someone's faith simply because you do not share it, Lord Cladent, Sazed said quietly.
Brandon Sanderson
You will find that hate can unify people more quickly and more fervently than devotion ever could.
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.
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
Mocking a woman is like drinking too much wine. It may be fun for a short time, but the hangover is hell.
Brandon Sanderson
Remember, the past need not become our future as well.
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
Every action we take has consequences, Vin, Kelsier said. I've found that in both Allomancy and life, the person who can best judge the consequences of their actions will be the most successful.
Brandon Sanderson
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?

There's always another secret.' -Kelsier
