Brandon Sanderson
Do not deride someone's faith simply because you do not share it, Lord Cladent, Sazed said quietly.
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
If you don't believe what I'm telling you, then ask yourself this: would any decent, kind-hearted individual become a writer? Of course not.
Brandon Sanderson
In the end, I worry that my arrogance shall destroy us all.
Brandon Sanderson
