― Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn: The Final Empire

“And so, does the destination matter? Or is it the path we take? I declare that no accomplishment has substance nearly as great as the road used to achieve it. We are not creatures of destinations. It is the journey that shapes us. Our callused feet, our backs strong from carrying the weight of our travels, our eyes open with the fresh delight of experiences lived.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“Honor is dead. But I'll see what I can do.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance

“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.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn: The Final Empire

“Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing.”

Then she smiled. Oh, storms. She smiled anyway.

It was the single most beautiful thing he’d seen in his entire life.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance

“O caminho subia e descia: "Sobe ou desce conforme se vai ou vem. Para quem vai, sobe; para quem vem, desce”

“Fiquei tranquilo. Quando chegarmos a Comala, o senhor vai ver o que é calor forte. Aquilo fica em cima das brasas da terra, bem na boca do inferno. Digo eu que muitos dos que morrem por lá, quando chegam no inferno voltam para buscar um cobertor.”
― Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo

“Havia estrelas cadentes. As luzes de Comala se apagaram.
Então o céu tomou conta da noite.
O padre Rentería se revirava na cama sem conseguir dormir:
�� Tudo isso que está acontecendo é por minha culpa �� disse a si mesmo. �� O temor de ofender os que me apoiam. Porque a verdade é esta; eles que me mantêm. Dos pobres não consigo nada; orações não enchem barriga. Assim foi até agora. E estas são consequências. Minha culpa. Eu traí aqueles que gostam de mim e que me deram sua fé e que me procuraram para que eu interceda por eles diante de Deus. Mas o que conseguiram com a fé? Ganharam o céu? Ou a purificação de suas almas? E purificar as almas para quê, se no último momento... Ainda tenho diante de meus olhos o olhar de Maria Dyada, que veio pedir que eu salvasse sua irmã Eduviges”
― Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo

“Saiu da casa e olhou o céu. Choviam estrelas. Lamentou aquilo, porque teria gostado de ver um céu quieto. Ouviu o canto dos galos. Sentiu a envoltura da noite cobrindo a terra. A terra, "este vale de lágrimas".”
― Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo

“�� Sei não, Juan Preciado. Fazia tantos anos que eu não erguia o rosto, que me esqueci do céu. E mesmo que eu tivesse erguido, o que haveria de ganhar? O céu está tão alto, e meus olhos tão sem olhar, que vivia contente só de saber onde ficava a terra.”
― Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo

“Deu uma batida seca contra a terra e foi se desmoronando como se fosse um montão de pedras.”
