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
I was thinking that work is like fertilizer in that I'm glad it exists I just don't ever want to get stuck in it.
Brandon Sanderson
