Morningtide she/her Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) In every book, there are a couple of lines that really stick out to me. I was wondering what everyone else's favorite lines in the Cosmere were. Paraphrasing is great too. Edited May 13, 2021 by Morningtide
Bejarden he/him Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 “I’m not grumpy I just have a low tolerance for stupidity” -Teft (paraphrased) Spoiler 1
Realmatic Shadow Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 "I am intelligent and articulate!" - Syl As for a more serious quote that has actually impacted me personally: "Accept the pain, but don't accept that you deserve it" - Hoid 1
Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 You said Cosmere, so... “Well, the Lord Ruler thinks he has claimed laughter and joy for himself. I’m disinclined to let him do so. This is one battle that doesn’t take very much effort to fight.” “You tried,” Kelsier replied, his voice loud and firm, carrying across the square. “But you can’t kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that thing you’ve never been able to kill, no matter how hard you try. I am hope.” “Belief isn’t simply a thing for fair times and bright days, I think. What is belief—what is faith—if you don’t continue in it after failure?” “It’s easy to believe in something when you win all the time, Jastes,” Elend said, opening his eyes. “The losses are what define a man’s faith.” Better to trust and be betrayed, Kelsier seemed to whisper. It had been one of the Survivor’s mottos. Better to love and be hurt. What was it Spook said? Sazed thought, sitting in the shadowy kandra cavern. That faith was about trust. Trusting that somebody was watching. That somebody would make it all right in the end, even though things looked terrible at the moment. To believe, it seemed, one had to want to believe. He held his daughter close against his own broken soul. Survive. (Both in SH and in BoM and the last line in WoA, too.) Also literally any time Kelsier punches (or attempts to punch) a god. 3
+CallsignZen she/her Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 "Can you feel it? Something just changed. I believe that's the sound the world makes when it pisses itself." -Wit, Way of Kings 5
ScadrianTank he/him Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 "I CONTROL ALL THINGS THAT CAN BE GROWN, NURTURED. THAT INCLUDES THE THORNS." And Dalinar saw only red. 2
+CallsignZen she/her Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 aim for the sun. that way if you miss your arrow will fall far away and the person it hits will likely be someone you don’t know. 3

I’ve seen some people put that on their profile page whats it from? or did you just copy it?
The Technovore he/him Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 "We Mistborn need not make sense," Vin, probably. 1
Chinkoln he/him Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 “If I do not accept... if I do not accept that I did those things, it means I cannot have grown to become a better man. A failure Journey before Destination. It cannot have been a journey, if it doesn’t have a beginning!” Paraphrased conversation between Dalinar and Odium at the Battle of Thaylen Field I absolutely love this. Whenever I feel down on myself for past actions and I feel like I should just give up, I remember this (also Teft’s third ideal of protecting those he hates, even if the one he hates most is himself). This always helps me move forward a little farther. It helps me get one step closer to the destination. I can live life a little more and gain a little strength to go further. 1

Mistborn Surgebinder Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 Somebody has to start. Somebody has to step forward and do right, because it is right. If nobody starts, then nobody can follow. -Lirin, before he became the cosmere's biggest douche. 2
Morningtide she/her Posted June 3, 2021 Author Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) "If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man" slightly paraphrased Dalinar quote Quote "We Mistborn need not make sense," Vin, probably. Kelsier actually said this. Edit: I just re-read the series, they both said it! Vin to Elend in HoA and Kelsier to Dox in FE Edited July 7, 2021 by Morningtide 2
Malim he/him Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Accept that you were hurt, but don't accept that you deserved it. -Wit to Shallan (paraphrased) *edit* And I see that Realmatic Shadow beat me to it. Edited June 9, 2021 by Malim 1
GroundPetrel Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Any and all quotes from Nightblood. Dalinar's "You can't have my pain!" from Oathbringer. Basically every time Syl tries to be therapeutic to Kaladin. I initially DNFed Oathbringer because I couldn't handle him being such a mess and her constantly trying to help because I was identifying really really hard with Kal and it was like Syl was trying to give me a pep talk and I know that I don't deserve that. Still like her attempts though. It's weird. That wham line from Denth in Warbreaker when Vivenna realizes how badly she's been outplayed.
Jondesu he/him Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 New one: ”Journey before Destination. You bastard.” - Navani Kholin 1
Morningtide she/her Posted July 7, 2021 Author Posted July 7, 2021 3 hours ago, Jondesu said: Journey before Destination. You bastard.” - Navani Kholin Honestly, loved this too
NikipediaOnTheMoon Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 What about: "Honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do." That one's just awesome. 1
