    “Belief isn't simply a thing for fair times and bright days...What is belief - what is faith - if you don't continue in it after failure?...Anyone can believe in someone, or something that always succeeds...But failure...ah, now, that is hard to believe in, certainly and truly. Difficult enough to have value. Sometimes we just have to wait long enough...then we find out why exactly it was that we kept believing...There's always another secret.”

    “Elend smiled. "Oh, come on. You have to admit that you're unusual, Vin. You're like some strange mixture of a noblewoman, a street urchin, and a cat. Plus, you've mangaged - in our short three years together - to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiancée. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick.”
    Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages

    Brandon Sanderson
    “Well, Vin says that there's something behind all this, right? Some evil force of doom or whatever? Well, if I were said force of doom, then I certainly wouldn't have used my powers to turn the land black. It just lacks flair. Red. Now, that would be an interesting color. Think of the possibilities--if the ash were red, the rivers would run like blood. Black is so monotonous that you can forget about it, but red--you'd always be thinking, 'Why, look at that. That hill is red. That evil force of doom trying to destroy me certainly has style.”
    Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages

    “It's a mystery," Vin said, narrowing her eyes and smiling. "We Mistborn are incredibly mysterious."
    Elend paused." Um...I'm Mistborn too, Vin. That doesn't make any sense."
    "We Mistborn need not make sense," Vin said." It's beneath us. Come on-the sun's already down. We need to get moving.”
    Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages

    "I got delayed by an Inquistor and a dark god," she said. "Now hustle.”
    Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages

    Brandon Sanderson
    You act as if I were your enemy.
    “You are my enemy. You seek to end the things I love.”
    And is an ending always bad? it asked. Must not all things, even worlds, someday end?
    “There is no need to hasten that end,” Vin said. “No reason to force it.”
    All things are subject to their own nature, Vin, Ruin said, seeming to flow around her. She could feel its touch on her—wet and delicate, like mist. You cannot blame me for what I am. Without me, nothing would end. Nothing could end. And therefore, nothing could grow. I am life. Would you fight life itself?
    Vin fell silent.
    Do not mourn because the day of this world’s end has arrived, Ruin said. That end was ordained the very day of the world’s conception. There is a beauty in death—the beauty of finality, the beauty of completion.
    For nothing is truly complete until the day it is finally destroyed.

    Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages

    “That's what war is," Cobb told me. "A bunch of sorry, desperate fools on both sides, just trying to stay alive. That's the part that those stories you love leave out, isn't it? It's always more convenient when you can fight a dragon. Something you don't have to worry you'll start caring about.”
