WAY OF KINGS

“And so, does the destination matter? Or is it the path we take? I declare that no accomplishment has substance nearly as great as the road used to achieve it. We are not creatures of destinations. It is the journey that shapes us. Our callused feet, our backs strong from carrying the weight of our travels, our eyes open with the fresh delight of experiences lived.”

― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.”

― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“Expectations were like fine pottery. The harder you held them, the more likely they were to crack.”

― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“Too many of us take great pains with what we ingest through our mouths, and far less with what we partake of through our ears and eyes.”

― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“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, The Way of Kings

“There are two kinds of people in this world, son. Those who save lives, and those who take lives."

"And what of those who protect and defend? Those who save lives by taking lives?"

"That's like trying to stop a storm by blowing harder. Ridiculous. You can't protect by killing.”

― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“At times, it seems to me that to be human is to want that which we cannot have. For some, this is power. For me, it is peace.”

― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“How easy it was to ignore a blackened heart if you dressed it in a pressed uniform and a reputation for honesty.”

― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“‘In the end, I must proclaim that no good can be achieved of false means. For the substance of our existence is not in the achievement, but in the method.”

― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings
