More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Control yourself. Become someone who can handle this.
Brandon Sanderson
Joy was more than just an absence of discomfort.
Brandon Sanderson
To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.
Brandon Sanderson
You're a very difficult person to manipulate, you know. Nonsense, he said. You just have to promise me that I won't have to do a thing, and then I'll do anything you want. Anything? Anything that doesn't require doing anything. That's nothing, then. Is it? Yes. Well, that's something.
Brandon Sanderson
You will find that hate can unify people more quickly and more fervently than devotion ever could.
Brandon Sanderson
I still doubt it will work. You'd doubt the sun's rising if you weren't proven wrong each day, Raoden said with a smile.
Brandon Sanderson
Men rarely see their own actions as unjustified.
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
Sometimes, son, my father said, prying my fingers free, you have to help the heroes along.
Brandon Sanderson
Normally, I have a lot of alpha readers on my books. These are people that, once I finish a novel, I let them look at it and give me a reader response.
Brandon Sanderson
Faith isn't about logic, son, Haddek said. Perhaps that's your problem. You cannot 'disprove' the things you study, any more than we can prove to you that the Hero will save us. We simply must believe it, and accept the things Preservation has taught us.
Brandon Sanderson
Joel, lad, school is about learning to learn. If you don't practice studying things you don't like, then you'll have a very hard time in life.
Brandon Sanderson
Llarimar had told him to do his best. That sounded like an awful lot of work. Unfortunately, doing nothing was beginning to seem like even MORE work.
Brandon Sanderson
Can a woman not walk with her possessions down the street of a city?
Brandon Sanderson
Though most expect young men to be fools, I've noticed that just a little bit of age can make a man far more foolish than he was as a child.
Brandon Sanderson
A story doesn't live until it is imagined in someone's mind.
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, Bastille. I keep trying to get killed because it's inconvenient for you.
Brandon Sanderson
It is very important to be reading as well as writing. A doctor is not going to ignore new surgery practices.
Brandon Sanderson
Marsh: Our best efforts were never even a mild annoyance to the Lord Ruler. Kelsier: Ah, but being an annoyance is something that I am very good at. In fact, I'm far more than just a 'mild' annoyance--people tell me I can be downright frustrating. Might as well use this talent for the cause of good, eh?
Brandon Sanderson
Somehow, she had grown into a woman in between the fall of kings and collapse of worlds. Once she had been terrified of change. Then she had been terrified of losing Elend. Now her fears were more nebulous - worries of what would come after she was gone, worries of what would happen to the people of the empire if she failed.
