More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
I like words. And I always learn a few new ones when Father gets angry. I shouldn't neglect my education, now should I?
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So, there I was, tied to an altar made from outdated encyclopedias, about to get sacrificed to the dark powers by a cult of evil Librarians.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
The motivations of men. They never make sense. And they always make sense.
Brandon Sanderson
Words are where most change begins.
Brandon Sanderson
But you can't kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that one thing you've never been able to kill, no matter how hard you try. I am hope.
Brandon Sanderson
I think given the choice between loving Mare - betrayal included - and never knowing her, I'd chose love. I risked, and I lost, but the risk was still worth it.
Brandon Sanderson
A story doesn't live until it is imagined in someone's mind.
Brandon Sanderson
If we must put our head into the lion’s mouth, let us make certain that he chokes upon our flesh!

It sounds to me, young one, Haddek said, that you are searching for something that cannot be found. The truth? Sazed said. No, Haddek replied. A religion that requires no faith of its believers.
Brandon Sanderson
I never wanted to be feared. If I regret one thing, it is the fear I have caused. Fear is the tool of tyrants. Unfortunately, when the fate of the world is in question, you use whatever tools are available.
Brandon Sanderson
I'm not really sure why. But... do you stop loving someone just because they betray you? I don't think so. That's what makes the betrayal hurt so much - pain, frustration, anger... and I still loved her. I still do.
Brandon Sanderson
Getting cut off from the knights' magic rock also required a period of exile from their giant glass mushroom. (Those of you in the Hushlands, I dare you to work that last sentence into a conversation. By the way, Sally, did you know that getting cut from the knight's magic rock also requires a period of exile from their giant glass mushroom?)
Brandon Sanderson
The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.
Brandon Sanderson
Well, then, he said. Let's do it. What? Vin asked. Save the world. Elend said. Stop the ash.
Brandon Sanderson
If you're always on time, it implies that you never have anything better you should be doing. -Kelsier
Brandon Sanderson
Elend: I kind of lost track of time… Breeze: For two hours? Elend: There were books involved.
Brandon Sanderson
When I do research, I cast my net very widely and then snatch what feels right out of that. Occasionally I'll read a specific book for a specific book, but usually I'm trying to increase my general understanding.
Brandon Sanderson
Those candle flames were like the lives of men. So fragile. So deadly. Left alone, they lit and warmed. Let run rampant, they would destroy the very things they were meant to illuminate. Embryonic bonfires, each bearing a seed of destruction so potent it could tumble cities and dash kings to their knees.
Brandon Sanderson
I don't have much time for stories, Vin said. Seems that fewer and fewer people do, these days. A canopy kept off the ash, but he seemed unconcerned about the mists. It makes me wonder what is so alluring about the real world that gives them all such a fetish for it. It's not a very nice place these days.
