“That caravan looks as if it’s all Vorin. Also, you look a little spindly for a Horneater.” “Did you just insult the princess’s weight?” Tyn asked, aghast. Storms! She was good.

“She was too amazed. They'd solved her problem. Instead of being angry at her for not having the solution, they had worked out one themselves. She didn't need to do this all on her own. That shouldn't have been such a revelation for her. But after spending ages walking around with everyone piling bricks in your arms, it can throw you off balance when someone removes a brick to carry for you.”

“It's like I often say..." "Greet every morning with a smile. That way it won't know what you're planning to do to it?" "No, not that one." "Until you know it ain't true, treat every woman like she has an older brother what is stronger than you are?" "No, not...Wait, I said that?" "Yes," Wax said, turning back to his notes. "It was a very chivalrous moment for you." "Rusts. I should really write these things down.”

“Some say that fame is a fleeting thing. Well, it has clung to me tenaciously, like gum stuck to the sidewalk, blackened from being stepped on a thousand times. I haven't been able to shake it, no matter what. Some also say fame is shallow. That's easy to say when you haven't spent your childhood being passed from family to family, scorned and discarded because of a curse that made you break whatever you touched. Fame is like a cheeseburger. It might not be the best or most healthy thing to have, but it will still fill you up. You don't really care how healthy something is when you've been without for so long. Like a cheeseburger, fame fills a need, and it tastes so good going down. It isn't until years later that you realize what it has done to your heart.”

“The Cinder King: I am the most powerful man on Canticle, offworlder, you see how they can't protest or resist? How they serve me regardless of how I treat them? I have absolute power over these. Once before I rose to before I rose to my destiny, I was a man who marched prisoners to their fates. There, I realized that true power is not in the ability to kill, but in the ability to control the killers. Auxiliary: Well, that's a perfectly normal and reasonable way of thinking, the knight observes sarcastically. I'm sure he's absolutely the most well-adjusted man on the planet, eh?”

“Tandis que le voile de la mort tombait sur lui, Hrathen écarta toutes les questions. Il ne voyait plus que le visage soucieux de Sarène, il ne pensait plus qu'à elle. La femme qui l'avait détruit. A cause d'elle, le gyorn avait trouvé le courage de rejeter les mensonges auxquels il avait cru toute sa vie. Elle ne saurait jamais qu'il l'avait aimée. "Adieu, ma princesse", pensa-t-il. "Jaddeth, prends pitié de mon âme. J'ai fait du mieux que j'ai pu.”

“I’ve been in enough battles to know when I’ve found one I can’t win.” “So you flee?” Evi said. “Like a coward?” “The coward,” Dalinar said, gathering his maps, “is the man who delays a necessary retreat for fear of being mocked. We’ll go back to Kholinar after I deal with the rebellion at the Rift. I’ll promise you at least a year there.” “Really?” Evi said, standing up. “Yes. You’ve won this fight.” “I … don’t feel like I’ve won.…” “Welcome to war, Evi,” Dalinar said, heading toward the door. “There are no unequivocal wins. Just victories that leave fewer of your friends dead than others.”
