“Why am I talking to you of all people?”
“Shallan!” he said, aghast. “If you were talking to someone else, they wouldn’t be me.”
“Be careful. People who aren’t me are prone to spontaneous bouts of sincerity.”
“Of course! ‘Sincerity’ is a word people use to justify their chronic dullness.”
“Well, I like sincere people,” Shallan said, raising her cup. “It’s delightful how surprised they look when ...

“Don’t worry, bridgeboy. You can continue to wear clothing to match your scowl.”
“You look like you tripped and fell into a bucket of blue paint,” Kaladin said, “then tried to dry off with a handful of parched grass.”

Adolin frowned as they walked. “Get inside … Oh!”
“I wish I’d picked it out myself.” He grunted, scratching the side of his head. “I like Veil.”
