I had Eondel teach me, Raoden said. Back when I was trying to find ways to prove that my father's laws were foolish. Eondel chose fencing becausehe thought it would be most useful to me, as a politician. I never figured I'd end up using it to keep my wife from slicing me to pieces.

Brandon Sanderson
...A man can only stumble for so long before he either falls or stands up straight.
Brandon Sanderson
So, there I was, tied to an altar made from outdated encyclopedias, about to get sacrificed to the dark powers by a cult of evil Librarians.

It is very important to be reading as well as writing. A doctor is not going to ignore new surgery practices.
Brandon Sanderson
The best liars are those who tell the truth most of the time.
Brandon Sanderson
Words are where most change begins.

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
The number 1 thing that I don't want to see in a story is when characters exist simply to be proven wrong.

In the end, all men die. How you lived will be far more important to the Almighty than what you accomplished.
Brandon Sanderson
Every man is a hero of his own story.
