Start writing the things that you are reading or that you want to be published doing.
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
Every man is a hero of his own story.
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.

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

Brandon Sanderson
The best liars are those who tell the truth most of the time.
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
He found insanity no excuse, however, for irrational behavior.
Brandon Sanderson
Small things were important. Secods were small things, and if you heaped enough of those on top of one another, they became a man's life.
Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson
Raoden looked up at his friend. We're not dead, Galladon, and we're not damned. We're just unfinished.
Brandon Sanderson
There has to be a balance, Vin, Elend said. Somehow, we'll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. He sighed. But for now, he said, nodding to the side, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.
Brandon Sanderson
Pain los[es] its power when other things bec[o]me more important.
Brandon Sanderson
A thing of nature. For every Push, there is a Pull. A consequence.
Brandon Sanderson
In the end, all men die. How you lived will be far more important to the Almighty than what you accomplished.
Brandon Sanderson
Does one deserve to have evil done to her by consequence of putting herself where evil can reach her?
Brandon Sanderson
When I do research, I cast my net very widely and then snatch what feels right out of that. Occasionally I'll read a specific book for a specific book, but usually I'm trying to increase my general understanding.
Brandon Sanderson
My name is Stephen Leeds, and I am perfectly sane. My hallucinations, however, are all quite mad.
Brandon Sanderson
Now, I had been frightened on several different occasions in my life. The most frightening of these involved an elevator and a mime.
