I am what the universe made me to be, my dear.
Brandon Sanderson

It's all right Wayne, Waxillium said softly. I've made a promise. I told Lord Harms I'd return Steris to him. And I will. That is that. Then I will remain and help, Marasi said. That is that. And I could really use some food, Wayne added. Fat is fat.
Brandon Sanderson
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.
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
Pain los[es] its power when other things bec[o]me more important.
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
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
...somehow the old philosophers could make even the most salacious topics seem boring.
Brandon Sanderson
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
Oh my lovely princess,Raoden whispered. You probably mean well, but handing these people food is the worst thing you could do to them. -Brandon Sanderson(Elantris)
Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson

Now her fears were more nebulous - worries of what would come after she was gone, worries of what would happen to the people of the empire if she failed.
