“Vin: I don't know -- and it's all your fault, you know. I used to understand everything. Now it's all confused.Kelsier: Yes, we've messed you up right properly.”

“It's not my fault I can't be like you, okay? I don't get up in the morning thinking the world is one big, shiny, happy place, okay? That's just not how I work. I don't think I can be fixed.”

“If you didn't grow up like I did then you don't know, and if you don't know it's probably better you don't judge.”

“I guess I just don't get the point. It's like, why should you bother getting attached to anything if,A: It's never gonna last, andB: It hurts like hell when it's over?”

“In life it's not how you fall but how you get up that really counts! Don't let mistakes from your past haunt and hold you back...always keep moving forward in your life”
