More quotes by 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
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
Lately, I feel like my life is a book written in a language I don't know how to read.
Brandon Sanderson
In the end, I worry that my arrogance shall destroy us all.
Brandon Sanderson
You people are all insane. How I ended up with you, I'll never know. Breeze laughed. Now, that's a lie, Cett. You know exactly how you ended up joining with us. We threatened to kill you if you didn't!
Brandon Sanderson
Remember, the past need not become our future as well.
Brandon Sanderson
Here, in Alethkar, men often spoke of the legends -- of mankind's hard-won victory over the Voidbringers. But when weapons created to fight nightmares were turned against common soldiers, the lives of men became cheap things indeed.
Brandon Sanderson
A thing of nature. For every Push, there is a Pull. A consequence.
Brandon Sanderson
Are there any religions on your list that include the slaughter of noblemen as a holy duty?
Brandon Sanderson
Ham shook his head, sitting down, pouring himself something to drink. I don't get it, El. Why'd she attack him? She's loony, Spook said.
Brandon Sanderson
Sometimes, son, my father said, prying my fingers free, you have to help the heroes along.

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. In fact, I'm far more than just a 'mild' annoyance--people tell me I can be downright frustrating. Might as well use this talent for the cause of good, eh?
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
Ignorance is hardly unusual, Miss Davar. The longer I live, the more I come to realize that it is the natural state of the human mind. There are many who will strive to defend its sanctity and then expect you to be impressed with their efforts.
Brandon Sanderson
Pain los[es] its power when other things bec[o]me more important.
Brandon Sanderson
Somehow, she had grown into a woman in between the fall of kings and collapse of worlds. Once she had been terrified of change. Then she had been terrified of losing Elend. 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.
Brandon Sanderson
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. It makes me wonder what is so alluring about the real world that gives them all such a fetish for it. It's not a very nice place these days.
Brandon Sanderson
There has to be a balance, Vin, Elend said. Somehow, we'll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. He sighed. But for now, he said, nodding to the side, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.
Brandon Sanderson
This world, it is a tempest sometimes. But remember, the sun always rises again.
Brandon Sanderson
I'm not really sure why. But... do you stop loving someone just because they betray you? I don't think so. That's what makes the betrayal hurt so much - pain, frustration, anger... and I still loved her. I still do.
