Great Quotes misattributed to Sanderson's Characters.


Dahak

Recommended Posts

A mild amusement I've been involved in elsewhere is taking notable quotes and misattrributing them to other characters for the salke of generating wry grins and the occasional laugh or giggle.

So I thought we could do it here with Sanderson characters.

Both with quotes from  other sanderson characters:

"So there I was, standing in my chambers on the day before the world ended, facing my greatest adversary to date.
The royal wardrobe coordinator."
-- Jasnah Kholin

And not.

"Why are you smiling?' asked Steris.
'I'm relieved,' Wax said honestly. 'I was worried I'd given myself cadmium poisoning, or I had some mysterious disease. This is just someone trying to kill me."

“Reason is intelligence taking exercise. Imagination is intelligence with an erection.”
-- Hoid

Oh dear, that Wax 'quote' fits him so perfectly.

"The wind does not respect a fool"
- The Stormfather

And slightly tweaked from the original:

" I can't believe it! My very first Oathgate trip! We're gonna have the BEST TIME. How much money do I get to spend on sweets and stuff? Oh, oh! Do bananas count as snacks?"
- Lift

@Dahak I love that Jasnah one. Is that supposed to be an Alcatraz joke?

 

"I'm going to my room before you get us all killed or worse expelled!"                          Melody

"No Mr. Honor, I expect you to die".                   Odium

Opening of the fourth book IIRC.

"You’re dead, right?" Dalinar said slowly.
"Oh, yes. It’s one of those things one is pretty certain about." replied the Almighty.

Very nice. Running with this theme:

"There can only be one."
- Odium

And dipping into misattributed TV sci-fi quotes:

"We are all Bavadin."
- Autonomy

Another response of Lady Jasnah's, when faced with a new and unique situation, was to look through the nearest libraries to see if it had ever happened before. This was, Shallan Davar reflected, a good survival trait. It meant that in times of danger you spent the day sitting very quietly in a building with very thick walls.

If complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All Shards are bastards!'

So long and thanks for all the chouta!

It turns out you were only MOSTLY dead. See, mostly dead is still slightly alive.

One I got while watching a video last night

After the Lord Ruler kills Kelsier Vin says "You don't fight with Honor!" The Lord Ruler replies, while gesturing to Kelsier's corpse "He did"

Anyone who got that deserves a cookie of their choice

@Draginon ASoIaF/GoT, Bronn versus Ser Whatsisface in Tyrion's trial at the Eyrie. xD And related:

"We heard you were dead!"
"I was, I'm better now"
- Spook and Kelsier

Or in a slightly more literary flavor:

"The report of my death was an exaggeration"
- Kelsier
