sorry sarcasm terrible
You see, that is the sad, sorry, terrible thing about sarcasm. It's really funny.
years people effort
People can do great things. However, there are some things they just CAN'T do. I, for instance, have not been able to transform myself into a Popsicle, despite years of effort.
silly book fantasy-novels
Remember, despite the fact that this book is being sold as a 'fantasy' novel, you must take all of the things it says extremely seriously, as they are quite important, are in no way silly, and always make sense. Rutabaga.
fighting people enemy
Elend: "Each moment you fight is a gift to those in this cavern. Each second we fight is a second longer that thousands of people can draw breath. Each stroke of the sword, each koloss felled, each breath earned is another victory! It is a person protected for a moment longer, a life extended, an enemy frusturated!" There was a brief pause.

character hands interesting
The more limitations you put on a character, often times the better a character you'll make them, the more interesting the story becomes because the character can't simply wave a hand and make something happen. They have to work within the framework.
book understanding trying
When I do research, I cast my net very widely and then snatch what feels right out of that. Occasionally I'll read a specific book for a specific book, but usually I'm trying to increase my general understanding.
good-person persons
No, not me.I'm not a good person or a bad person.I'm just here to kill things.
lying light shadow
Hmmmm Light makes shadow. Truth makes lies. Hmmmm.
topics philosopher boring
...somehow the old philosophers could make even the most salacious topics seem boring.
want humans seems
At times, it seems to me that to be human is to want that which we cannot have. For some, this is power. For me, it is peace.
real people substance
imaginary things were often the only items of real substance in people's lives.
school mean kids
You know, I was a nerdy kid going through high school, and then I got to college and that all vanished. I mean, a lot of my good friends - when we were in high school, we would never have been able to hang out together because we were in such different cliques or whatever. Now, who cares?
men age wish
Using a fetching face to make men do as you wish is no different from a man using muscle to force a woman to his will. Both are base, and both will fail a person as they age.
thinking facts
Spook: No, I'm not troubled. In fact, I actually think everything is going to be all right. Finally.
