{{quote
|The foolishness of men who care, Dalinar, and the brilliance of those who do not. The second depend on the first—--but also exploit the first—--while the first misunderstand the second, hoping that the second are more like the first. And all of their games steal our time. Second by second.

{{quote
|Nonsense. Balderdash. Figgldygrak. Isn't it odd that gibberish words are often the sounds of other words, cut up and dismembered, then stitched into something like them&mdash;--yet wholly unlike them at the same time?<br/>
I wonder if you could do that to a man. Pull him apart, emotion by emotion, bit by bit, bloody chunk by bloody chunk. Then combine them back together into something else, like a [[Dysian Aimian]]. If you do put a man together like that, Dalinar, be sure to name him Gibberish, after me. Or perhaps Gibletish.

|I've abandoned my real name. But when next we meet, I'll think of a clever one for you to call me. Until then, Wit will suffice&mdash;--or if you must, you may call me Hoid.

{{quote
|Hoid|What you saw belongs to you. A story doesn't live until it is imagined in someone's mind."<br/>
"|Kaladin|What does the story mean, then?"<br/>
"|Hoid|It means what you want it to mean. The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon. Too often, we forget that.
