Sometimes it was daunting, kno...

Sometimes it was daunting, knowing how easily I could break things. This one simple curse seemed to dominate my entire life.

I froze, shocked. (And don't try to clam that you did anything different the first time a government bureaucrat pulled a gun on you.)

You see, that is the sad, sorry, terrible thing about sarcasm. It's really funny.

Brandon Sanderson 309 quotes

People can do great things. Ho...

People can do great things. However, there are some things they just CAN'T do. I, for instance, have not been able to transform myself into a Popsicle, despite years of effort.

Brandon Sanderson 309 quotes

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 309 quotes

Elend: 'Each moment you fight...

Elend: 'Each moment you fight is a gift to those in this cavern. Each second we fight is a second longer that thousands of people can draw breath. Each stroke of the sword, each koloss felled, each breath earned is another victory! It is a person protected for a moment longer, a life extended, an enemy frusturated!' There was a brief pause. 'In the end they shall kill us. But first they shall fear us!

Spook: No, I'm not troubled. In fact, I actually think everything is going to be all right. Finally.

Personally, I say, 'Out of the frying pan and into the deadly pit filled with sharks who are wielding chainsaws with killer kittens stapled to them.' However, that one's having a rough time catching on.

Brandon Sanderson 309 quotes

Personally, I like it much bet...

Personally, I like it much better when someone else does the decision making. That way you have legitimate grounds to whine and complain. I tend to find both whining and complaining quite interesting and amusing, though sometimes--unfortunately--it's hard to choose which one of the two I want to do. Sigh. LIfe can be so tough sometimes.

Mocking a woman is like drinking too much wine. It may be fun for a short time, but the hangover is hell.

Eternity ended ten years ago.

My behavior is nonetheless, deplorable. Unfortunately, I'm quite prone to such bouts of deplorability--take for instance, my fondness for reading books at the dinner table.

Remember, the past need not become our future as well.

Brandon Sanderson 309 quotes

To live is to have worries and uncertainties. Keep them inside, and they will destroy you for certain--leaving behind a person so callused that emotion can find no root in his heart.

Brandon Sanderson 309 quotes

Belief isn't simply a thing for fair times and bright days...What is belief - what is faith - if you don't continue in it after failure?...Anyone can believe in someone, or something that always succeeds...But failure...ah, now, that is hard to believe in, certainly and truly. Difficult enough to have value. Sometimes we just have to wait long enough...then we find out why exactly it was that we kept believing...There's always another secret.

Brandon Sanderson 309 quotes

Must someone, some unseen thin...

Must someone, some unseen thing, declare what is right for it to be right? I believe that my own morality - which answers only to my heart - is more sure and true than the morality of those who do right only because they fear retribution.

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?

I've always been very confident in my immaturity.

That isn't greatness. That's just foolishness.

It's easy to believe in something when you win all the time...The losses are what define a man's faith.
