More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.
Brandon Sanderson
It was amazing how many books one could fit into a room, assuming one didn't want to move around very much.
Brandon Sanderson
You said their prayer - is this the religion you believe in, then? I believe in them all. Vin frowned. None of them contradict each other? Sazed smiled. Oh, often and frequently they do. But, I respect the truths behind them all.
Brandon Sanderson
Every man is a hero of his own story.
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
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
One can have a wit, but not a witless
Brandon Sanderson
I try to avoid having thoughts. They lead to other thoughts, and—if you’re not careful—those lead to actions. Actions make you tired. I have this on rather good authority from someone who once read it in a book.
Brandon Sanderson
My name is Stephen Leeds, and I am perfectly sane. My hallucinations, however, are all quite mad.
Brandon Sanderson
Must someone, some unseen thing, declare what is right for it to be right? I believe that my own morality - which answers only to my heart - is more sure and true than the morality of those who do right only because they fear retribution.
Brandon Sanderson
The hallmark of insecurity is bravado.
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
You've managed-- in our short three years together-- to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiance. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It's a strange foundation for a relationship, wouldn't you say?
Brandon Sanderson
Does one deserve to have evil done to her by consequence of putting herself where evil can reach her?
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
The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.
Brandon Sanderson
Start writing the things that you are reading or that you want to be published doing.
Brandon Sanderson
I will protect those who cannot protect themselves.
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
Act with honor, and Honor will aid you
