More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Entropy shakes its angry fist at you for being clever enough to organize the world. (p 2)
Brandon Sanderson
My behavior is nonetheless, deplorable. Unfortunately, I'm quite prone to such bouts of deplorability--take for instance, my fondness for reading books at the dinner table.
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
It's all right Wayne, Waxillium said softly. I've made a promise. I told Lord Harms I'd return Steris to him. And I will. That is that. Then I will remain and help, Marasi said. That is that. And I could really use some food, Wayne added. Fat is fat.
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
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
At times, it seems to me that to be human is to want that which we cannot have. For some, this is power. For me, it is peace.
Brandon Sanderson
I've found you can ignore half of what Dox tells you and not miss much-except for maybe they occasional complaint that you're spending too much.
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
It is you! the man exclaimed. We thought you weren't coming for another week! Ashe, Sarene mumbled, who is this lunatic and what does he want with me?
Brandon Sanderson
Fantasy has had some problems with being too repetitive, in my opinion. I try to read what other people are doing - and say, 'How can I add to this rather than just recycle it? How can I stand on Tolkien's shoulders rather than stand tied to his kneecaps?
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
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
You could be writing the book that changes your life.
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
Yes, Bastille. I keep trying to get killed because it's inconvenient for you.
Brandon Sanderson
The entire point of life is to find ways to get others to do your work for you. Don’t you know anything about basic economics?
Brandon Sanderson
It sounds to me, young one, Haddek said, that you are searching for something that cannot be found. The truth? Sazed said. No, Haddek replied. A religion that requires no faith of its believers.
Brandon Sanderson
Life before Death. Strength before Weakness. Journey before Destination.
Brandon Sanderson
Do not deride someone's faith simply because you do not share it, Lord Cladent, Sazed said quietly.
