Authority doesn't come from a rank., Kaladin said, fingering the spheres in his pocket. Where does it come from? From the men who give it to you. That's the only way to get it.
Brandon Sanderson
Men had always told Kaladin that he fought like nobody else. He’d felt it on the first day he’d picked up a quarterstaff, though Tukks’s advice had helped him refine and channel what he could do. Kaladin had cared when he fought. He’d never fought empty or cold. He fought to keep his men alive

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
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.
