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.

Hmmmm Light makes shadow. Truth makes lies. Hmmmm.
Brandon Sanderson
You're wonderful. So full of life and excitement. The priests and servants of the palace, they wear colors, but there's no color inside of them. They just go about their duties, eyes down, solemn. You've got color on the inside, so much of it that it bursts out and colors everything around you.
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
My job is not to save 'The Wheel of Time', to fix 'The Wheel of Time', or anything like that. My job is not to screw it up.
Brandon Sanderson
Expectations were like fine pottery. The harder you held them, the more likely they were to crack.
Brandon Sanderson
Better to be the failure who nobly strived than the success who never really had to.
Brandon Sanderson
The hallmark of insecurity is bravado.
Brandon Sanderson
Sometimes, son, my father said, prying my fingers free, you have to help the heroes along.
Brandon Sanderson
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?”)
Brandon Sanderson
The entire point of life is to find ways to get others to do your work for you. Don’t you know anything about basic economics?
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
Ignorance is hardly unusual, Miss Davar. The longer I live, the more I come to realize that it is the natural state of the human mind. There are many who will strive to defend its sanctity and then expect you to be impressed with their efforts.
Brandon Sanderson
Mocking a woman is like drinking too much wine. It may be fun for a short time, but the hangover is hell.
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.
Brandon Sanderson
Elend: I kind of lost track of time… Breeze: For two hours? Elend: There were books involved.
Brandon Sanderson
You will find that hate can unify people more quickly and more fervently than devotion ever could.
Brandon Sanderson
Does one deserve to have evil done to her by consequence of putting herself where evil can reach her?
Brandon Sanderson
No, not me.I'm not a good person or a bad person.I'm just here to kill things.
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.
Brandon Sanderson
I'm Galladon, from the sovereign realm of Duladel. I'm most recently from Elantris, land of sludge, insanity, and eternal perdition. Nice to meet you.
