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.

My dear, did you just try to prove the existence of God with your cleavage?
Brandon Sanderson
Vin shook her head. No, not me. I'm not a good person or a bad person. I'm just here to kill things. OreSeur watched her for a moment, then settled back down. Regardless, he said, you are not my worst master. That is, perhaps, a compliment among our people.
Brandon Sanderson
Raoden looked up at his friend. We're not dead, Galladon, and we're not damned. We're just unfinished.
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.

Do not dash if you only have the strength to walk, and do not waste your time pushing on the walls that will not give. More importantly, don't shove where a pat would be sufficient.
Brandon Sanderson
Every action we take has consequences, Vin, Kelsier said. I've found that in both Allomancy and life, the person who can best judge the consequences of their actions will be the most successful.
Brandon Sanderson
The look of disbelief that ran across the boy's face was somehow more disturbing than the despair it had replaced. This creature had given up hope long ago he probably begged out of habit rather than expectation.
Brandon Sanderson
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
So, there I was, tied to an altar made from outdated encyclopedias, about to get sacrificed to the dark powers by a cult of evil Librarians.
Brandon Sanderson
It was amazing how many books one could fit into a room, assuming one didn't want to move around very much.
Brandon Sanderson
Entropy shakes its angry fist at you for being clever enough to organize the world. (p 2)
Brandon Sanderson
In the end, I worry that my arrogance shall destroy us all.
Brandon Sanderson
There are no endings, and never will be endings, to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was an ending.
Brandon Sanderson
It's like a banana farm for guns!
Brandon Sanderson
A person knows when they’re in darkness, even when they can’t see. -Nightblood
Brandon Sanderson
You people are all insane. How I ended up with you, I'll never know. Breeze laughed. Now, that's a lie, Cett. You know exactly how you ended up joining with us. We threatened to kill you if you didn't!
Brandon Sanderson
My job is not to save 'The Wheel of Time', to fix 'The Wheel of Time', or anything like that. My job is not to screw it up.
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
If you are anything like me --- Clever, fond of goat cheese, and devilishly handsome --- then you have undoubtedly read many books.
Brandon Sanderson
The motivations of men. They never make sense. And they always make sense.
