In the end, I worry that my arrogance shall destroy us all.
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
Everything is a contest. All dealings among men are a contest in which some will succeed and others fail. And some are failing quite spectacularly.
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
Remember, despite the fact that this book is being sold as a 'fantasy' novel, you must take all of the things it says extremely seriously, as they are quite important, are in no way silly, and always make sense. Rutabaga.
Brandon Sanderson
It's a mystery, Vin said, narrowing her eyes and smiling. We Mistborn are incredibly mysterious. Elend paused. Um...I'm Mistborn too, Vin. That doesn't make any sense. We Mistborn need not make sense, Vin said. It's beneath us. Come on-the sun's already down. We need to get moving.

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
What is it we value? Innovation. Originality. Novelty. But most importantly...timeliness. I fear you may be too late, my confused, unfortunate, friend.
Brandon Sanderson
I want you to go back into the barrack and tell the men to come out after the storm. Tell them to look up at me tied here. Tell them I’ll open my eyes and look back at them, and they’ll know hat I survived.
Brandon Sanderson
Well, then, he said. Let's do it. What? Vin asked. Save the world. Elend said. Stop the ash.
Brandon Sanderson
Sometimes it was daunting, knowing how easily I could break things. This one simple curse seemed to dominate my entire life.
Brandon Sanderson
Honestly, for an evil god of darkness, he certainly can be dull.
Brandon Sanderson
Are there any religions on your list that include the slaughter of noblemen as a holy duty?
Brandon Sanderson
Definitely not-you optimists just can't understand that a depressed person doesn't want you to try and cheer them up.It makes us sick. Brandon Sanderson(Elantris)
Brandon Sanderson
Actually, [Wax] said, we came here because we needed someplace safe to think for a few hours. Ranette: Your mansion isn't safe? Wax: My butler failed to poison me, then tried to shoot me, then set off an explosive in my study Ranette: Huh.... You need to screen these people better, Wax.
Brandon Sanderson
You will find that hate can unify people more quickly and more fervently than devotion ever could.
Brandon Sanderson
What did it mean to be called “lord”? I’ll assume you’ve never had the honor, since I doubt any of you happen to be British royalty. (And, if by chance you are, then let me say, “Hello, Your Majesty! Welcome to my stupid book. Can I borrow some cash?”)
