Marsh: Our best efforts were never even a mild annoyance to the Lord Ruler. Kelsier: Ah, but being an annoyance is something that I am very good at.

Faith isn't about logic, son, Haddek said. Perhaps that's your problem. You cannot 'disprove' the things you study, any more than we can prove to you that the Hero will save us. We simply must believe it, and accept the things Preservation has taught us.
Brandon Sanderson
Expectations were like fine pottery. The harder you held them, the more likely they were to crack.
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

Brandon Sanderson
To Parlin's mind, nothing showed affection like a hunk of something dead and bleeding on the table.
Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson
Authority doesn't come from a rank., Kaladin said, fingering the spheres in his pocket. Where does it come from? From the men who give it to you. That's the only way to get it.
Brandon Sanderson
