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.

More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.
Brandon Sanderson
Llarimar had told him to do his best. That sounded like an awful lot of work. Unfortunately, doing nothing was beginning to seem like even MORE work.
Brandon Sanderson
Men had always told Kaladin that he fought like nobody else. He’d felt it on the first day he’d picked up a quarterstaff, though Tukks’s advice had helped him refine and channel what he could do. Kaladin had cared when he fought. He’d never fought empty or cold. He fought to keep his men alive
Brandon Sanderson
He found insanity no excuse, however, for irrational behavior.
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
You said their prayer - is this the religion you believe in, then? I believe in them all. Vin frowned. None of them contradict each other? Sazed smiled. Oh, often and frequently they do. But, I respect the truths behind them all.
Brandon Sanderson
You're wonderful. So full of life and excitement. The priests and servants of the palace, they wear colors, but there's no color inside of them. They just go about their duties, eyes down, solemn. You've got color on the inside, so much of it that it bursts out and colors everything around you.

I've seen Steelheart bleed
Brandon Sanderson
I try to avoid having thoughts. They lead to other thoughts, and—if you’re not careful—those lead to actions. Actions make you tired. I have this on rather good authority from someone who once read it in a book.
Brandon Sanderson
We follow the codes not because they bring gain, but because we loathe the people we would otherwise become.
Brandon Sanderson
Must someone, some unseen thing, declare what is right for it to be right? I believe that my own morality - which answers only to my heart - is more sure and true than the morality of those who do right only because they fear retribution.
Brandon Sanderson
I am what the universe made me to be, my dear.
Brandon Sanderson
I like words. And I always learn a few new ones when Father gets angry. I shouldn't neglect my education, now should I?
Brandon Sanderson
I killed you once, the Lord Ruler said, turning back to Kelsier. You tried, Kelsier replied, his voice loud and firm, carrying across the square. But you can't kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that thing you've never been able to kill no matter how hard you try. I am hope.
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 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
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
I will protect those who cannot protect themselves.
Brandon Sanderson
If we must put our head into the lion’s mouth, let us make certain that he chokes upon our flesh!
Brandon Sanderson
Better to be the failure who nobly strived than the success who never really had to.
