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
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
Good men don't become legends, he said quietly. Good men don't need to become legends. She opened her eyes, looking up at him. They just do what's right anyway.
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
Now, I had been frightened on several different occasions in my life. The most frightening of these involved an elevator and a mime.

He smiled despite the grief he felt at the deaths of his men he smiled because that was what he did. That was how he proved to the Lord Ruler-and to himself-that he wasn't beaten.
Brandon Sanderson
