More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Ignorance is hardly unusual, Miss Davar. The longer I live, the more I come to realize that it is the natural state of the human mind. There are many who will strive to defend its sanctity and then expect you to be impressed with their efforts.
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
I point out truths when I see them, Brightlord Sadeas. Each man has his place. Mine is to make insults. Yours is to be in-sluts.

Galladon paused for a moment, then laughed. Does nothing frighten you, sule? Actually, pretty much everything here does—I'm just good at ignoring the fact that I'm terrified. If I ever realize how scared I am, you'll probably find me trying to hide under those cobblestones over there.

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
No, not me.I'm not a good person or a bad person.I'm just here to kill things.
Brandon Sanderson
You're a very difficult person to manipulate, you know. Nonsense, he said. You just have to promise me that I won't have to do a thing, and then I'll do anything you want. Anything? Anything that doesn't require doing anything. That's nothing, then. Is it? Yes. Well, that's something.
Brandon Sanderson
Do not deride someone's faith simply because you do not share it, Lord Cladent, Sazed said quietly.
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.
