Start writing the things that you are reading or that you want to be published doing.
Brandon Sanderson
Remember, despite the fact that this book is being sold as a 'fantasy' novel, you must take all of the things it says extremely seriously, as they are quite important, are in no way silly, and always make sense. Rutabaga.
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
The best liars are those who tell the truth most of the time.
Brandon Sanderson
Control yourself. Become someone who can handle this.
Brandon Sanderson

Faith isn't about logic, son, Haddek said. Perhaps that's your problem. You cannot 'disprove' the things you study, any more than we can prove to you that the Hero will save us. We simply must believe it, and accept the things Preservation has taught us.
Brandon Sanderson
Better to be the failure who nobly strived than the success who never really had to.
Brandon Sanderson
I never wanted to be feared. If I regret one thing, it is the fear I have caused. Fear is the tool of tyrants. Unfortunately, when the fate of the world is in question, you use whatever tools are available.
Brandon Sanderson
There's always another secret.' -Kelsier
Brandon Sanderson
This is going to take a while. I'm a fantasy author. We have trouble with the concept of brevity.
Brandon Sanderson
Getting cut off from the knights' magic rock also required a period of exile from their giant glass mushroom. (Those of you in the Hushlands, I dare you to work that last sentence into a conversation. By the way, Sally, did you know that getting cut from the knight's magic rock also requires a period of exile from their giant glass mushroom?)
Brandon Sanderson
The look of disbelief that ran across the boy's face was somehow more disturbing than the despair it had replaced. This creature had given up hope long ago he probably begged out of habit rather than expectation.
Brandon Sanderson
Actually, [Wax] said, we came here because we needed someplace safe to think for a few hours. Ranette: Your mansion isn't safe? Wax: My butler failed to poison me, then tried to shoot me, then set off an explosive in my study Ranette: Huh.... You need to screen these people better, Wax.
Brandon Sanderson
Bitterness is repaid more often than kindness.
Brandon Sanderson
It was strange, how easily and quickly protection could cause destruction. Sometimes, Vasher wondered if the two weren't really the same thing. Protect a flower, destroy pests who wanted to feed on it. Protect a building, destroy the plants that could have grown in the soil. Protect a man. Live with the destruction he creates.
Brandon Sanderson
Vin snorted, kneeling in the low tent as she pulled her belt tight then she crawled over to him. I don't know how you read while riding, she said. Oh, it's quite easy - if you aren't afraid of horses. I'm not afraid of them, Vin said. They just don't like me. They know I can outrun them, and that makes them surly.
