| This force was time infinite. It was the winds that weathered, the storms that broke, the timeless waves running slowly, slowly, slowly, to a stop as the sun and the planet cooled to nothing.
 
It was the ultimate end and destiny of all things. And it was angry.

| "Ah, Vin," Ruin said, its voice almost fatherly in tone. "You act as if I were your enemy."<br />
"You are my enemy. You seek to end the things I love."<br />
"And is an ending always bad?" it asked. "Must not all things, even worlds, someday end?"
| Ruin to [[Vin]].{{book ref|mb3|45}}
}}
 
{{quote
| Do not mourn because the day of this world's end has arrived. That end was ordained the very day of the world's conception. There is a beauty in death--the beauty of finality, the beauty of completion.<br />
For nothing is truly complete until the day it is finally destroyed.
| Ruin to [[Vin]].{{book ref|mb3|45}}

| You still don't understand, I see. You're '''all''' on my side, Vin. I created you. You're my tools--each and every one of you. Zane, [[Aradan Yomen|Yomen]], you, your dear [[Elend Venture|Emperor Venture]]...

|Balance, Ruin spat. Balance imprisoned me. Preservation's sacrifice--that was to siphon off the part of me that was stronger, to lock it away, to leave me equal with him again. For a time.<br />
Only for a time. And what is time to us, Vin?<br />
Nothing.

{{quote
|He gave up his power at the Well, and into the mists, giving it to us so that we could take it. He always intended this to happen. You think this was your plan? It was his. His all along.<br />
You created the thing that can kill you, Ruin. And you just made one huge final mistake. You shouldn't have killed Elend.<br />
You see, he was the only reason I had left to live.

{{quote
| You realize the forces I can bring to bear against you, child? You realize the power I have, the destruction I represent? I am mountains that crush. I am waves that crash. I am storms that shatter. I am '''the end.'''
