More quotes by Robert Jordan
Better to have one woman on your side than ten men.
Robert Jordan
There are no clear paths. Only pitfalls and tripwires and darkness.
Robert Jordan
It has been quite a weight, hasn't it? Tam asked. What weight? Rand replied. That lost hand you've been carrying. Rand looked down at his stump. Yes. I believe it has been at that.
Robert Jordan
We rode on the winds of the rising storm, We ran to the sounds of the thunder. We danced among the lightning bolts, and tore the world asunder.
Robert Jordan
Better to face the bear than run from it.
Robert Jordan
I do not like odd things until I can understand them.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
The pike does not ask the frog's permission before dining.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
The more women there are about, the softer a wise man steps.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
In the Borderlands, sheepherder, if a man has the raising of a child, that child is his, and none can say different.
Robert Jordan
To fight the raven you may make alliance with the serpent until the battle is done.
Robert Jordan
You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones. Remember this, on this journey you insist on making. If you die, I will not survive you long.
Robert Jordan
Kill a man who needs killing, and sometimes others pay for it. The question is, was it worth doing it anyway? There's always a balance, you know. Good and evil. Light and Shadow. We would not be human if there wasn't a balance.
Robert Jordan
The wheel weaves as the wheel wills
Robert Jordan
Sometimes six and six make a dozen, and sometimes they make a mess
