“Here she is at another meeting, another meeting, watching people shout at each other for stupid reasons.”
Thomas D. Lee, Perilous Times

Brandon Sanderson
“Each yoki-hijo trained in an ancient and powerful art. A deliberate, wondrous artistry requiring the full synergy of body and mind. Geological reorganization on the microscale, requiring acute understanding of gravitational equilibrium. In other words, they stacked rocks.”
Brandon Sanderson, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

Brandon Sanderson
“Plus, here’s the thing. A kiss doesn’t need to be good to be valuable. It doesn’t serve any real purpose. It’s valued solely because of the person you share it with. Things only have the value we give to them. And likewise, actions can be worth whatever we decide them to be worth. And so, to these two, that kiss was priceless.”
Brandon Sanderson, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

“Never let something trivial, like a sense of humor, get in the way of a good joke.”
Brandon Sanderson, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

Brandon Sanderson
“You’d be surprised how common the name Doug is across worlds. Oh, some spell it ‘Dug’ or ‘Duhg’ but it’s always around. Regardless of local linguistics, parents eventually start naming their kids Doug. I once spent ten years on a planet where the only sapient sapient life was a group of pancake-like beings that expressed themselves through flatulence. And I kid you not, one was named Doug. Though admittedly it had a very distinctive smell when the word was “spoken”. Doug is the naming equivalent to convergent evolution. And once it arrives, it stays. A linguistic Great Filter; a wake up call. Once a society reaches peak Doug, it’s time for it to go sit in the corner and think about what it has done.”
Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea
