More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Those candle flames were like the lives of men. So fragile. So deadly. Left alone, they lit and warmed. Let run rampant, they would destroy the very things they were meant to illuminate. Embryonic bonfires, each bearing a seed of destruction so potent it could tumble cities and dash kings to their knees.
Brandon Sanderson
This world, it is a tempest sometimes. But remember, the sun always rises again.
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?

Remember, the past need not become our future as well.

Too many scholars think of research as purely a cerebral pursuit. If we do nothing with the knowledge we gain, then we have wasted our study. Books can store information better than we can--what we we do that books cannot is interpret. So if one is not going to draw conclusions, then one might as well just leave the information in the texts.

Brandon Sanderson
A person knows when they’re in darkness, even when they can’t see. -Nightblood

Better to be the failure who nobly strived than the success who never really had to.
Brandon Sanderson
Entropy shakes its angry fist at you for being clever enough to organize the world. (p 2)
Brandon Sanderson
The best liars are those who tell the truth most of the time.
Brandon Sanderson
So, using his pride like a shield against despair, dejection, and-most important— self-pity, Raoden raised his head to stare damnation in the eyes.
Brandon Sanderson
You know, I was a nerdy kid going through high school, and then I got to college and that all vanished. I mean, a lot of my good friends - when we were in high school, we would never have been able to hang out together because we were in such different cliques or whatever. Now, who cares?
Brandon Sanderson
Here, in Alethkar, men often spoke of the legends -- of mankind's hard-won victory over the Voidbringers. But when weapons created to fight nightmares were turned against common soldiers, the lives of men became cheap things indeed.
Brandon Sanderson
Once one becomes a man, he can and must make his own decisions. But I do offer warning. Even a good thing can become destructive if taken to excess.
Brandon Sanderson
I've seen Steelheart bleed

Nothing will train you to write better as a writer, than working on your next book.

You should try not to talk so much, friend. You'll sound far less stupid that way. - Breeze
