doe world want
All the world does as it is supposed to, except for humans. Maybe that's why you so often want to kill each other.
imitating versions
It's not imitating anything; it has become a better version of itself.
wheels wheel-of-time
There are no endings, and never will be endings, to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was an ending.
tree palm-trees palms
You're a sword not a palm tree
war nice
War is far worse. At least where politics is going on, there are usually nice hors d’oeuvres.
moving years mundane-life
The Shaod, it was called. The Transformation... When it came, the fortuante person's life ended and began anew; he would discard his old, mundane existence and move to Elantris. Elantris, where he could live in bliss, rule in wisdom, and be worshiped for eternity. Eternity ended ten years ago.

Though, if you think about it, hostile, dethroned pseudodeities probably make disagreeable neighbors. You'll have to figure out something to do with him.

I am a Smedry, and we do ridiculous, unexpected, eccentric things like this all the time! Ha-ha!

kings fall people
Somehow, she had grown into a woman in between the fall of kings and collapse of worlds. Once she had been terrified of change. Then she had been terrified of losing Elend. Now her fears were more nebulous - worries of what would come after she was gone, worries of what would happen to the people of the empire if she failed.
leadership fall men
...A man can only stumble for so long before he either falls or stands up straight.
thinking years lessons-to-be-learned
People can do great things. However, there are somethings they just can't do. I, for instance, have not been able to transform myself into a Popsicle, despite years of effort. I could, however, make myself insane, if I wished. (Though if I achieved the second, I might be able to make myself think I'd achieved the first....) Anyway, if there's a lesson to be learned, it's this: great success often depends on being able to distinguish between the impossible and the improbable. Or, in easier terms, distinguishing between Popsicles and insanity. Any questions?
writing steel metals
I Write those words in steel for anything else not set in metal cannot be trusted
