thegatorgirl00 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Half of everything Hoid says counts as this. The other half is complete absurdity. Sometimes I have trouble figuring out which is which. Also, this quote "Contradictions. Those were what made people real.

Who is Hoid? Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Sanderson has a lot of little gems in his books. My favs are: "As I fear not a child with a weapon he cannot lift, I will never fear the mind of a man who does not think." - Brandon Sanderson, WoR "Expectation. That is the true soul of art. If you can give a man more than he expects, then he will laud you his entire life. If you can create an air of anticipation and feed it properly, you will succeed." - Brandon Sanderson, WoR There are many more that I love, but these are my top two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Definitely. There are so many little gems in his books. Just look at Raoden in Elantris! There's a plethora of inspiration right there. The first ideal is probably the most known, but "There's always another secret," has to be my favorite. Yeah, the thing a lot of people who are relatively new to Brandon don't get is that all his blurbs about him understanding leadership and having insight into emotions? Those are talking about Elantris, not Mistborn, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightGradient Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 For me, it was the idea that its not the destination that separates one from his peers. but the path to it. We all die, so to rise above others is to take the better road. To pave the way for others greatness. This idea is woven throughout both in-world and out-world WoK, alongside Words of Radiance.
