Brandon Sanderson
You are nothing if not exhaustive in your self-congratulatory made-up logic.
Brandon Sanderson
You're a mean old man, Your Grace. And that is the way it should be. Roial informed. Mean young men are trivial, and kindly old men boring. Here, let me get us something to drink.
Brandon Sanderson
You said their prayer - is this the religion you believe in, then? I believe in them all. Vin frowned. None of them contradict each other? Sazed smiled. Oh, often and frequently they do. But, I respect the truths behind them all.
Brandon Sanderson
Does one deserve to have evil done to her by consequence of putting herself where evil can reach her?
Brandon Sanderson
I point out truths when I see them, Brightlord Sadeas. Each man has his place. Mine is to make insults. Yours is to be in-sluts.
Brandon Sanderson
