Normally, I have a lot of alpha readers on my books. These are people that, once I finish a novel, I let them look at it and give me a reader response.

More quotes by Brandon Sanderson
Remember, the past need not become our future as well.
Brandon Sanderson
You're a very difficult person to manipulate, you know. Nonsense, he said. You just have to promise me that I won't have to do a thing, and then I'll do anything you want. Anything? Anything that doesn't require doing anything. That's nothing, then. Is it? Yes. Well, that's something.
Brandon Sanderson
Those who take lightly promises they make to those they love are people who find little lasting satisfaction in life. This is not an easy time in which to live. That does not mean that it has to be a difficult time to love, but it does mean that you will find unusual stresses upon your lives and your relationship.
Brandon Sanderson
Too many scholars think of research as purely a cerebral pursuit. If we do nothing with the knowledge we gain, then we have wasted our study. Books can store information better than we can--what we we do that books cannot is interpret. So if one is not going to draw conclusions, then one might as well just leave the information in the texts.
Brandon Sanderson
You will find that hate can unify people more quickly and more fervently than devotion ever could.
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
Yes, Bastille. I keep trying to get killed because it's inconvenient for you.
Brandon Sanderson
What did it mean to be called “lord”? I’ll assume you’ve never had the honor, since I doubt any of you happen to be British royalty. (And, if by chance you are, then let me say, “Hello, Your Majesty! Welcome to my stupid book. Can I borrow some cash?”)
Brandon Sanderson
Joel, lad, school is about learning to learn. If you don't practice studying things you don't like, then you'll have a very hard time in life.
Brandon Sanderson
Do not dash if you only have the strength to walk, and do not waste your time pushing on the walls that will not give. More importantly, don't shove where a pat would be sufficient.
Brandon Sanderson
You see, that is the sad, sorry, terrible thing about sarcasm. It's really funny.
Brandon Sanderson
Lately, I feel like my life is a book written in a language I don't know how to read.
Brandon Sanderson
It is very important to be reading as well as writing. A doctor is not going to ignore new surgery practices.
Brandon Sanderson
Be warned - Hammond does tend to be a bit optimistic about these kind of things. If the army were made up of one-legged mutes, he would praise their balance and their listening skills.
Brandon Sanderson
The motivations of men. They never make sense. And they always make sense.
Brandon Sanderson
Does one deserve to have evil done to her by consequence of putting herself where evil can reach her?
Brandon Sanderson
I am a writer who works from an outline. What I generally do when I build an outline is I find focal, important scenes, and I build them in my head and I don't write them yet, but I build towards them.
Brandon Sanderson
Definitely not-you optimists just can't understand that a depressed person doesn't want you to try and cheer them up.It makes us sick. Brandon Sanderson(Elantris)
Brandon Sanderson
Never throw the first punch. If you have to throw the second, try to make sure they don't get up for a third.
Brandon Sanderson
Oh, I’m just a happy person.
Brandon Sanderson
