Brandon Sanderson
Though most expect young men to be fools, I've noticed that just a little bit of age can make a man far more foolish than he was as a child.

You know, I was a nerdy kid going through high school, and then I got to college and that all vanished. I mean, a lot of my good friends - when we were in high school, we would never have been able to hang out together because we were in such different cliques or whatever. Now, who cares?
Brandon Sanderson
I was thinking that work is like fertilizer in that I'm glad it exists I just don't ever want to get stuck in it.

Brandon Sanderson
You are inexperienced. So was I, once. So is every man. The measure of a person is not how much they have lived. . . It's in how they make us of what life has shown them.
Brandon Sanderson
You've managed-- in our short three years together-- to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiance. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It's a strange foundation for a relationship, wouldn't you say?
Brandon Sanderson
You see, that is the sad, sorry, terrible thing about sarcasm. It's really funny.
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
It is very important to be reading as well as writing. A doctor is not going to ignore new surgery practices.
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
You're wonderful. So full of life and excitement. The priests and servants of the palace, they wear colors, but there's no color inside of them. They just go about their duties, eyes down, solemn. You've got color on the inside, so much of it that it bursts out and colors everything around you.
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
He found insanity no excuse, however, for irrational behavior.
