{{quote|I have kept a journal since I was a child, in order to practice my writing skills.”<br>
“Congratulations. Should I need someone to write a treatise on their stuffed pony or give an account of an interesting pebble they discovered, I shall send for you.|Shallan and Jasnah{{ref|b|sa1|c|5}}}}
{{quote|
{{quote|...a woman’s mind is her most precious weapon. It must not be employed clumsily or prematurely. Much like the aforementioned knife to the back, a clever gibe is most effective when it is unanticipated.|Jasnah to Shallan{{ref|b|sa1|c|29}}}}
{{quote|Youthful immaturity is one of the [[cosmere]]’s great catalysts for change... To be young is about action. To be a scholar is about </em>informed<em> action.|Jasnah to Shallan{{ref|b|sa1|c|29}}}}
{{quote|Too many scholars think of research as purely a cerebral pursuit. If we </em>do<em> nothing with the knowledge we gain, then we have wasted our study. Books can store information better than we can—what we do that books cannot is </em>interpret<em>. So if one is not going to draw conclusions, then one might as well just leave the information in the texts.|Jasnah to Shallan{{ref|b|sa1|c|29}}}}
{{quote|I always forgive curiosity, Your Majesty. It strikes me as one of the most genuine of emotions.|Jasnah to Taravangian{{ref|b|sa1|c|29}}}}
{{quote|A true scholar must not close her mind close on any topic, no matter how certain she may feel. Just because I have not yet found a convincing reason to join one of the devotaries does not mean I never will. Though each time I have a discussion like the one today, my convictions grow firmer.|Jasnah to Shallan{{ref|b|sa1|c|29}}}}
{{quote|When we are young, we want simple answers. There is no greater indication of youth, perhaps, than the desire for everything to be </em>as it should<em>. As it has ever been. The older we grow, the more we question. We begin to ask why. And yet, we still want the answers to be simple. We assume that the people around us—adults, leaders—will have those answers. Whatever they give often satisfies us. ... Indeed, it seems to me that aging, wisdom, and </em>wondering<em> are synonymous. The older we grow, the more likely we are to reject the simple answers. Unless someone gets in our way and demands they be accepted regardless.|Jasnah to Shallan{{ref|b|sa1|c|36}}}}
{{quote|You will find wise men in any religion, Shallan, and good men in every nation. Those who </em>truly<em> seek wisdom are those who will acknowledge the virtue in their adversaries and who will learn from those who disabuse them of error. All others—heretic, Vorin, Ysperist, or Maakian—are equally closed-minded.|Jasnah to Shallan{{ref|b|twok|c|48}}}}
{{quote|Let the Vorin believe as they wish—the wise among them will find goodness and solace in their faith; the fools would be fools no matter what they believed.|Jasnah to Shallan{{ref|b|twok|c|48}}}}
{{quote|It strikes me that religion—in its essence—seeks to take natural events and ascribe supernatural causes to them. I, however, seek to take supernatural events and find the natural meanings behind them. Perhaps that is the final dividing line between science and religion. Opposite sides of a card.|Jasnah on why she researches Voidbringers{{ref|b|twok|c|72}}}}
