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
Small things were important. Secods were small things, and if you heaped enough of those on top of one another, they became a man's life.
Brandon Sanderson
A thing of nature. For every Push, there is a Pull. A consequence.
Brandon Sanderson
Act with honor, and Honor will aid you

Her aunt Sol had once told Shai to smile at the worst insults and snap at the minor ones. That way, no man would know your heart.
Brandon Sanderson
It's a mystery, Vin said, narrowing her eyes and smiling. We Mistborn are incredibly mysterious. Elend paused. Um...I'm Mistborn too, Vin. That doesn't make any sense. We Mistborn need not make sense, Vin said. It's beneath us. Come on-the sun's already down. We need to get moving.

If you are anything like me --- Clever, fond of goat cheese, and devilishly handsome --- then you have undoubtedly read many books.

Start writing the things that you are reading or that you want to be published doing.

Marsh: Our best efforts were never even a mild annoyance to the Lord Ruler. Kelsier: Ah, but being an annoyance is something that I am very good at.
