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.

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?

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.

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
What is it we value? Innovation. Originality. Novelty. But most importantly...timeliness. I fear you may be too late, my confused, unfortunate, friend.
Brandon Sanderson
That's the point, isn't it? We have to live on, no matter how hard it gets. We'll win in the end.
Brandon Sanderson
But you can't kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that one thing you've never been able to kill, no matter how hard you try. I am hope.
Brandon Sanderson
It seems that the rebels found the chaos of transition more difficult to accept than the tyranny they had known before. They joyfully welcomed back authority-even oppressive authority-for it was less painful for them than uncertainty.
Brandon Sanderson
How totally unexpected, he declared, then proceeded to faint from blood loss.
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
Once one becomes a man, he can and must make his own decisions. But I do offer warning. Even a good thing can become destructive if taken to excess.
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.

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.
