More quotes by 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
Being in charge isn't always about telling people what to do. Sometimes, it's about knowing when to step out of the way of people who know what they're doing. - Tam al'Thor
Brandon Sanderson
There are two kinds of people in this world, son. Those who save lives, and those who take lives. And what of those who protect and defend? Those who save lives by taking lives? That's like trying to stop a storm by blowing harder. Ridiculous. You can't protect by killing.
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)

I want you to go back into the barrack and tell the men to come out after the storm. Tell them to look up at me tied here. Tell them I’ll open my eyes and look back at them, and they’ll know hat I survived.
Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson
I will protect those who cannot protect themselves.
Brandon Sanderson
Sometimes it was daunting, knowing how easily I could break things. This one simple curse seemed to dominate my entire life.
Brandon Sanderson
That isn’t greatness. That’s just foolishness.
Brandon Sanderson
What is belief - what is faith - if you don't continue it after failure?
Brandon Sanderson
Every action we take has consequences, Vin, Kelsier said. I've found that in both Allomancy and life, the person who can best judge the consequences of their actions will be the most successful.
Brandon Sanderson
My behavior is nonetheless, deplorable. Unfortunately, I'm quite prone to such bouts of deplorability--take for instance, my fondness for reading books at the dinner table.
Brandon Sanderson
You know, I was a nerdy kid going through high school, and then I got to college and that all vanished. I mean, a lot of my good friends - when we were in high school, we would never have been able to hang out together because we were in such different cliques or whatever. Now, who cares?
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
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
We follow the codes not because they bring gain, but because we loathe the people we would otherwise become.
Brandon Sanderson
Those who take lightly promises they make to those they love are people who find little lasting satisfaction in life. This is not an easy time in which to live. That does not mean that it has to be a difficult time to love, but it does mean that you will find unusual stresses upon your lives and your relationship.
