More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
I was thinking that work is like fertilizer in that I'm glad it exists I just don't ever want to get stuck in it.
Brandon Sanderson
That's the point, isn't it? We have to live on, no matter how hard it gets. We'll win in the end.
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
It seems that the rebels found the chaos of transition more difficult to accept than the tyranny they had known before. They joyfully welcomed back authority-even oppressive authority-for it was less painful for them than uncertainty.
Brandon Sanderson
It was strange, how easily and quickly protection could cause destruction. Sometimes, Vasher wondered if the two weren't really the same thing. Protect a flower, destroy pests who wanted to feed on it. Protect a building, destroy the plants that could have grown in the soil. Protect a man. Live with the destruction he creates.

Well, then, he said. Let's do it. What? Vin asked. Save the world. Elend said. Stop the ash.
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.

So,” Marasi said, “you traded a dead man’s scarf for another dead man’s gun. But…the gun itself belonged to someone dead, so by the same logic—” “Don’t try,” Waxillium said. “Logic doesn’t work on Wayne.” “I bought a ward against it off a traveling fortune-teller,” Wayne explained. “It lets me add two ’n’ two and get a pickle.
Brandon Sanderson
To Parlin's mind, nothing showed affection like a hunk of something dead and bleeding on the table.
Brandon Sanderson
There are two kinds of people in this world, son. Those who save lives, and those who take lives. And what of those who protect and defend? Those who save lives by taking lives? That's like trying to stop a storm by blowing harder. Ridiculous. You can't protect by killing.
Brandon Sanderson
Joel, lad, school is about learning to learn. If you don't practice studying things you don't like, then you'll have a very hard time in life.
Brandon Sanderson
Expectations were like fine pottery. The harder you held them, the more likely they were to crack.
Brandon Sanderson
I am what the universe made me to be, my dear.
Brandon Sanderson
I think given the choice between loving Mare - betrayal included - and never knowing her, I'd chose love. I risked, and I lost, but the risk was still worth it.
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
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
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
In the end, all men die. How you lived will be far more important to the Almighty than what you accomplished.
Brandon Sanderson
My name is Stephen Leeds, and I am perfectly sane. My hallucinations, however, are all quite mad.
