An ominous crash came from the clouds above them, and Raoden felt a wet drop splat against his head. Fantastic, Galladon grumbled. I'm enjoying myself alre
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
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
Llarimar had told him to do his best. That sounded like an awful lot of work. Unfortunately, doing nothing was beginning to seem like even MORE work.
Brandon Sanderson
Well, then, he said. Let's do it. What? Vin asked. Save the world. Elend said. Stop the ash.
Brandon Sanderson
You could be writing the book that changes your life.
Brandon Sanderson
If you're always on time, it implies that you never have anything better you should be doing. -Kelsier

Wayne's a little attached to that hat, Waxillium said. He thinks it's lucky. Wayne: It is lucky. I ain't never died while wearing that hat. Marasi frowned. I ... I'm not sure I know how to respond. Wax: That's a common reaction to Wayne.
Brandon Sanderson
