Brandon Sanderson: Timing

“What would you think if I told you that I wasn’t an Allomancer?” Sazed asked.
“I’d think that you were lying,” Vin said.
“Have you known me to lie before?”
“The best liars are those who tell the truth most of the time.”

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

“If you're always on time, it implies that you never have anything better you should be doing.”

“The only time you seem honest is when you’re insulting someone!”
“The only honest things I can say to you are insults.”

“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.”

“Women? Women are like… thunderstorms. They're beautiful to look at, and sometimes they're nice to listen to-but most of the time they're just plain inconvenient.”

“As she’d left, I’d glanced at her gun.
This time, when she’d pointed it at me, she’d flicked the safety on. If that wasn’t true love, I don’t know what was.”

“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.”

“I kind of lost track of time…"
"For two hours?"
Elend nodded sheepishly. "There were books involved.”

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

“I hadn’t been a nerd, mind you. I’d just been the type of guy who spent a lot of time by himself, focused entirely on a single consuming interest.”

“Novels aren’t just happy escapes; they are slivers of people’s souls, nailed to the pages, dripping ink from veins of wood pulp. Reading the right one at the right time can make all the difference.”

“It is a time of change,'' Sazed said. ''Perhaps it is also time to learn of other truths, other ways.”

“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.”

“The best liars are those who tell the truth most of the time.”

“We remember the good times and the bad ones, forgetting that most times are neither good nor bad. They just are.”

“There are no endings, and never will be endings, to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was an ending.”

“You want to be a better person? Go listen to someone you disagree with. don't argue with them just. It's remarkable what interesting things people will say if you take the time to not be a jerk.”

“And don't waste time worshipping Harmony. Doing goodthe worship.”
