[Stormrunner1730]

The most important step quote.  I've been quoting that to myself every day since I finished the book.

I've been wanting to post it to Facebook as an inspirational quote, but some of my friends read too and would pick up on it (i.e. they're not done with Oathbringer yet).

Quote

When you boys next meet the swordsman who taught you that morning kata, warn him that I’m looking for him.”

 

“Zahel?”

 

Adolin said. “You know Zahel?”

“We’re old friends,” she said.

 

“Notum, have your sailors been cutting those bales of cloth into the shapes I requested?” “Yes,” the captain said. “But I don’t understand—” “You soon will.” She gave Kaladin a lazy salute.

 

[Stick's Interlude he/him]

For me, it has to be the entire conversation between Hoid and Shallan in chapter 68.  Particularly this line:

 

"Yes, yes.  Aim for the sun.  That way if you miss, at least your arrow will fall far away, and the person it kills will likely be someone you don't know."

 

Thanks, Wit.  I appreciate you.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Here's my favorite: 

Quote

"If you wish, Captain," Jasnah snapped, "I can get you some mink kits to cuddle while the adults plan. None of us want to talk about this, but that does not make it any less inevitable."

"I'd love that," Kaladin responded. "In turn, I'll get you some eels to cuddle. You'll feel right at home." 

"I'd happily cuddle skyeels, as you offer, if your team would be willing to spend some time imitating them."

"Don't wear it out gancho."

Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing.

 

Law is light and darkness does not serve it. Ask and I will answer. -Nale is the Man.

 

I will take responsibility for what I have done. If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man. -words that touched me personally. Now THAT is a worthy ideal.

 

You tried to help the people of the market. You mostly failed. This is life. The longer you live, the more you fail. Failure is the mark of a life well lived. In turn, the only way to live without failure is to be of no use to anyone. Trust me, I've practiced.

 

I love tradition. I've fought for tradition. I make my men follow the codes. I uphold Vorin virtues. But merely being tradition does not make something worthy, Kadash. We can't just assume that because something is old it is right.

 

One can believe in a story without believing it happened.

 

Plan every battle as if you will inevitably retreat, but fight every battle like there is no backing down. 

 

Every moment in our lives seems trivial. Most are forgotten while some, equally humble, become the points upon which history pivots. Like white on black.

 

The question is not whether you will love, hurt, dream, and die. It is what you will love, why you will hurt, when you will dream, and how you will die. This is your choice. You cannot pick the destination, only the path.

 

You Cryptics mimic … weird stuff? 

The fundamental underlying mathematics by which natural phenomena occur. Mmm. Truths that explain the fabric of existence.

 

Some men, as they age, grow kinder. I am not one of those, for I have seen how the cosmere can mistreat the innocent—and that leaves me disinclined toward kindness. Some men, as they age, grow wiser. I am not one of those, for wisdom and I have always been at cross-purposes, and I have yet to learn the tongue in which she speaks. Some men, as they age, grow more cynical. I, fortunately, am not one of those. If I were, the very air would warp around me, sucking in all emotion, leaving only scorn. Other men … other men, as they age, merely grow stranger. I fear that I am one of those. I am the bones of a foreign species left drying on the plain that was once, long ago, a sea. A curiosity, perhaps a reminder, that all has not always been as it is now.
