Oh, I’m just a happy person.
Brandon Sanderson
If you are anything like me --- Clever, fond of goat cheese, and devilishly handsome --- then you have undoubtedly read many books.
Brandon Sanderson
Llarimar had told him to do his best. That sounded like an awful lot of work. Unfortunately, doing nothing was beginning to seem like even MORE work.
Brandon Sanderson
Remember, the past need not become our future as well.
Brandon Sanderson
Hmmmm Light makes shadow. Truth makes lies. Hmmmm.
Brandon Sanderson
That's the point, isn't it? We have to live on, no matter how hard it gets. We'll win in the end.
Brandon Sanderson
You are nothing if not exhaustive in your self-congratulatory made-up logic.
Brandon Sanderson
What is it we value? Innovation. Originality. Novelty. But most importantly...timeliness. I fear you may be too late, my confused, unfortunate, friend.
Brandon Sanderson
Does one deserve to have evil done to her by consequence of putting herself where evil can reach her?
Brandon Sanderson
Here, in Alethkar, men often spoke of the legends -- of mankind's hard-won victory over the Voidbringers. But when weapons created to fight nightmares were turned against common soldiers, the lives of men became cheap things indeed.
Brandon Sanderson
To Parlin's mind, nothing showed affection like a hunk of something dead and bleeding on the table.
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
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 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
Remember, despite the fact that this book is being sold as a 'fantasy' novel, you must take all of the things it says extremely seriously, as they are quite important, are in no way silly, and always make sense. Rutabaga.
Brandon Sanderson
Too many scholars think of research as purely a cerebral pursuit. If we do nothing with the knowledge we gain, then we have wasted our study. Books can store information better than we can--what we we do that books cannot is interpret. So if one is not going to draw conclusions, then one might as well just leave the information in the texts.
Brandon Sanderson
I've found you can ignore half of what Dox tells you and not miss much-except for maybe they occasional complaint that you're spending too much.
Brandon Sanderson
You people are all insane. How I ended up with you, I'll never know. Breeze laughed. Now, that's a lie, Cett. You know exactly how you ended up joining with us. We threatened to kill you if you didn't!
Brandon Sanderson
You've managed-- in our short three years together-- to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiance. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It's a strange foundation for a relationship, wouldn't you say?
Brandon Sanderson
At times, it seems to me that to be human is to want that which we cannot have. For some, this is power. For me, it is peace.
Brandon Sanderson
