Guess that Cosmere reference!

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

I noticed that there wasn't a cosmere line thread out there, so I decided to make one. The rules are: Find a line or passage from one of the cosmere books, and post it here. The, one at a time, people have to guess what scene or part of a book the line is from. If this gets too hard, then we will change it to guessing the book.

I'll start off. "Strength does not make one capable of rule; it makes one capable of service."

Spoiler

I hope this becomes a thing. . .

The Way of Kings inworld book, from the Way of Kings?

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Close. It's in the Way of KIngs, But not in the Way of Kings in the way of Kings.

Mentioning strength as service does imply The Oaths ... does it relate to the Knights Radiant specifically?

[Honorless he/him]

I remember that one, Teft explaining to Kaladin the meaning of the first Ideal of the Knights Radiant as understood by the Envisagers.

Yes! That’s it. Does anybody else want to go?

[Hen she/her]

I will! My reference is “he said” 

Spoiler

“I hate you. Thank you for making me hate you” 

 

[AonEne he/him]

That’s Moash iirc. 

[Honorless he/him]

I feel like I've definitely read that line but I can't remember where... but it makes sense for that to be Moash

[Hen she/her]

Not stormlight! That would make sense though, good guess.

[AonEne he/him]

Is that Marsh? 

[Honorless he/him]

is it Dusk talking to/about Patji?

[Mallory she/her]

It almost sounds like Sarene to me but I could be wrong. I don't know what scene, I know I've read it somewhere though. 

[Tacitus]

Is that Warbreaker? 

I feel like maybe... but I'm not quite sure...

Hmm... That is a good one. Some preliminary guesses of mine would be:

- Dalinar to Odium, Oathbringer?
- Vin to Tensoon, Mistborn 2 or 3?
- Dusk to Patji, Sixth of the Dusk?
- Dockson to Kelsier, Mistborn 2?
- Kelsier to Ruin, Secret History?
- Kaladin to Gaz, Stormlight 1? 
- Vasher to Denth, Warbreaker?

No, no, no, no, no, no, and no! (It’s not Marsh or dusk either Ene and Honorless)

When I typed it originally I was gonna put outside of the spoiler box “spoilers for ______” but then I realized that... I’m dumb. It’s not really a spoiler anyway.

It feels like.... I know it's by a good guy from SA... and can you tell me if I'm right?

Edit: I know once I get it right, I'm going to wonder how I did not remember it.

Is it by Dalinar?

Heh, it’s not a good guy from SA!

[Tacitus]

Wait! was it the inaudible, invisible person in every single book, to the other inaudible, invisible person in every book?
