Here's one:

"Could someone really adopt a persona that wholly?"

Quote

Do we have to guess what book it's from?

Also I think it's shadows of self or bands about wayne.

I think so. If it was more specific, it would be quite a challenge, but perhaps that’s what was intended (was that correct grammar? It seems wrong.) 

And I’m pretty sure that’s Lost Metal.

Yeah. Just that. Just the book! And no, it's not that. Nor Lost Metal, either.

Isn't that from Starsight? I feel like I remember something about it in that one.

Aargh! I know this quote…what is it?!

[S. Stormy she/her]

My brain says Tindwyl cause it sounds like her but I don't think that's right. No clue.

[The Stormfather He/Him]

Not tindwyl.

Elhokar. Elhokar 100%

I wanna say that this is something that was said to Dalinar. But I'm not sure by whom.

It was said to dalinar. By whom... I'm pretty sure it was Amaram. I just read WoR, and picked a quote from it at random. I am like 95% that it was Amaram to Dalinar at one of the feasts.

[RaeTheRaven]

Haha, fair enough. I was pretty sure it was said to Dalinar. Like i even remember how dalinar felt about it. But there were a lot of options for who might have said it.

I thought it was Adolin or someone when they were deciding that Adolin would talk to Eshonai instead of Dalinar because he's more important and they needed to keep him safe.

Huh. Adolin or Elhokar.

I thought it was Elhokar proving that Dalinar should be the High king.

[The Stormfather He/Him]

It was in WoR, because I was reading it and flipped to a page and copied a quote. It was being said to dalinar, and Amaram's name was on the page, so I assumed it was him talking although it could have been Adolin or Elhokar or Sadeas or someone.

WoR Ch 51

Spoiler

“Impossible,” Dalinar said, “I won’t risk my son on—”

“Father!” Adolin snapped. “This is not subject to discussion!”

The room fell silent. Dalinar lowered his hand from the map. Adolin stuck out his jaw, meeting his father’s eyes. Storms, it was difficult to deny Dalinar Kholin. Did his father realize the presence he had, the way he moved people about by sheer force of expectation?

Nobody contradicted him. Dalinar did what he wanted. Fortunately, these days those motives had a noble purpose. But in many ways he was the same man he had been twenty years ago, when he’d conquered a kingdom. He was the Blackthorn, and he got what he wanted.

Except today.

“You are too important,” Adolin said, pointing. “Deny that. Deny that your visions are vital. Deny that if you die, Alethkar would fall apart. Deny that every single person in this room is less important than you are.”

Dalinar drew in a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. “It shouldn’t be so. The kingdom needs to be strong enough to survive the loss of one man, no matter who.”

“Well, it’s not there yet,” Adolin said.

I think part of the difficulty is people are paraphrasing rather than quoting. 

Here's a new one:

“I took care of them, Father,” she whispered. “Everyone has a job, and that’s mine. I take care of the children.”
