"I need horseshoes," Vin said. "A lot of them."
— The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn, #2) (84%)
Either Vin's perpetual motion horseshoe flight trick made a big impression on me the first time, or she spends a ton of time on it later, because based on my memory I'm really surprised it hasn't show up before now.

"My lord," the man said. "The koloss army has attacked Luthadel!" /Just as you said, Zane,/ Straff thought in wonder. "The koloss, attacking?" Lord Janarle asked, moving his horse up beside Straff's. The handsome lord frowned, then eyed Straff. "You expected this, my lord?" "Of course," Straff said, smiling. Janarle looked impressed.

I have no doubt that if Alendi reaches the Well of Ascension, he will take the power and then--in the name of the presumed greater good--give it up.

Ham shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe Kell is out there somewhere, watching over us." /No,/ Breeze thought. /If he were, we wouldn't have ended up here--waiting to die, locked in a city we were supposed to save./

I have entrusted you with a secret that my people have kept sacred for a thousand years. The way that Allomancers could take control of our bodies and make slaves of us.

It soon became too dark even for Mistborn eyes, and she had to light a lantern. When she did, she was surprised to see that her footsteps weren't the only ones in the dust. Apparently, someone else had been haunting the corridors. However, whoever it was, she didn't encounter them as she walked through the hallways.
