Humor Quote by Brandon Sanderson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Jasnah had once defined a fool as a person who ignored information because it disagreed with desired results.”

“But merely being tradition does not make something worthy, Kadash. We can't just assume that because something is”

“I’ll admit, Jasnah, that I empathize with your skepticism, but I don’t agree with it. I just think you've been looking for God in the wrong places.”

“There are two kinds of people in this world, son. Those who save lives, and those who take lives.”

“We were like deaf people trying to dance to a beat we couldn't hear, long after the music actually stopped.”

“You're a very difficult person to manipulate, you know.”

“I don't accept the currently fashionable assertion that any view is automatically as worthy of respect as any equal and opposite view. My view is that the moon is made of rock. If someone says to me 'Well, you haven't been there, have you? You haven't seen it for yourself, so my view that it is made of Norwegian Beaver Cheese is equally valid' - then I can't even be bothered to argue. There is such a thing as the burden of proof, and in the case of god, as in the case of the composition of the moon, this has shifted radically. God used to be the best explanation we'd got, and we've now got vastly better ones. God is no longer an explanation of anything, but has instead become something that would itself need an insurmountable amount of explaining. So I don't think that being convinced that there is no god is as irrational or arrogant a point of view as belief that there is. I don't think the matter calls for even-handedness at all.”

“See? This is why I'm not religious. I couldn't possibly keep my mouth shut long enough to get along with everyone else.”

“Darwin says people like you need to die.” (Carrow)”

“No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country.”

“My misery is reaching epidemic proportions.”
