More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Men had always told Kaladin that he fought like nobody else. He’d felt it on the first day he’d picked up a quarterstaff, though Tukks’s advice had helped him refine and channel what he could do. Kaladin had cared when he fought. He’d never fought empty or cold. He fought to keep his men alive

I am a writer who works from an outline. What I generally do when I build an outline is I find focal, important scenes, and I build them in my head and I don't write them yet, but I build towards them.
Brandon Sanderson
I've seen Steelheart bleed

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?”)

Hmmmm Light makes shadow. Truth makes lies. Hmmmm.

AT first Raoden stayed away from the library, because it reminded him of her. Then he found himself drawn back to it—because it reminded him of her.
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
You are nothing if not exhaustive in your self-congratulatory made-up logic.
Brandon Sanderson
My name is Stephen Leeds, and I am perfectly sane. My hallucinations, however, are all quite mad.
Brandon Sanderson
Joy was more than just an absence of discomfort.
Brandon Sanderson
Oh my lovely princess,Raoden whispered. You probably mean well, but handing these people food is the worst thing you could do to them. -Brandon Sanderson(Elantris)
Brandon Sanderson
Galladon paused for a moment, then laughed. Does nothing frighten you, sule? Actually, pretty much everything here does—I'm just good at ignoring the fact that I'm terrified. If I ever realize how scared I am, you'll probably find me trying to hide under those cobblestones over there.
Brandon Sanderson
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?

This world, it is a tempest sometimes. But remember, the sun always rises again.
Brandon Sanderson
Raoden looked up at his friend. We're not dead, Galladon, and we're not damned. We're just unfinished.
Brandon Sanderson
Vin shook her head. No, not me. I'm not a good person or a bad person. I'm just here to kill things. OreSeur watched her for a moment, then settled back down. Regardless, he said, you are not my worst master. That is, perhaps, a compliment among our people.
Brandon Sanderson
This is going to take a while. I'm a fantasy author. We have trouble with the concept of brevity.
Brandon Sanderson
The more limitations you put on a character often times the better a character you'll make them, the more interesting the story becomes because the character can't simply wave a hand and make something happen. They have to work within the framework.
Brandon Sanderson
One can have a wit, but not a witless
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.
