More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Those who take lightly promises they make to those they love are people who find little lasting satisfaction in life. This is not an easy time in which to live. That does not mean that it has to be a difficult time to love, but it does mean that you will find unusual stresses upon your lives and your relationship.
Brandon Sanderson
The motivations of men. They never make sense. And they always make sense.
Brandon Sanderson
A person knows when they’re in darkness, even when they can’t see. -Nightblood
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.
Brandon Sanderson
It's not imitating anything it has become a better version of itself.
Brandon Sanderson
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.

What? Is that boy crazy? Most young men his age are somewhat crazy, I think, Sazed said with a smile. However, this is hardly unexpected. Haven't you noticed how he stares at you when you enter a room? I thought he was just creepy.

Fantasy has had some problems with being too repetitive, in my opinion. I try to read what other people are doing - and say, 'How can I add to this rather than just recycle it? How can I stand on Tolkien's shoulders rather than stand tied to his kneecaps?
Brandon Sanderson
I never wanted to be feared. If I regret one thing, it is the fear I have caused. Fear is the tool of tyrants. Unfortunately, when the fate of the world is in question, you use whatever tools are available.
Brandon Sanderson
How totally unexpected, he declared, then proceeded to faint from blood loss.
Brandon Sanderson
Now, I had been frightened on several different occasions in my life. The most frightening of these involved an elevator and a mime.
Brandon Sanderson
Sometimes, son, my father said, prying my fingers free, you have to help the heroes along.
Brandon Sanderson
...somehow the old philosophers could make even the most salacious topics seem boring.
Brandon Sanderson
A story doesn't live until it is imagined in someone's mind.
Brandon Sanderson
Belief? Yes, Sazed said. Tell me, Mistress. What is it that you believe? Vin frowned. What kind of question is that? The most important kind, I think.
Brandon Sanderson
I'm Teoish, Sarene said, successfully spearing something that looked like a marinated piece of shrimp. We're all this tall. Father's Teoish too, Kaise, Daorn said. And you know how tall he is. But father's fat, Kaise pointed out. Why aren't you fat too, Sarene?
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
Elend: I kind of lost track of time… Breeze: For two hours? Elend: There were books involved.
Brandon Sanderson
If you don't believe what I'm telling you, then ask yourself this: would any decent, kind-hearted individual become a writer? Of course not.
Brandon Sanderson
Good men don't become legends, he said quietly. Good men don't need to become legends. She opened her eyes, looking up at him. They just do what's right anyway.
