“Why did they believe? Because they saw miracles. Things one man took as chance, a man of faith took as a sign. A loved one recovering from disease, a fortunate business deal, a chance meeting with a long lost friend.

― Brandon Sanderson, The Hero of Ages

"Yes."
"Well, that's something.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Warbreaker
