More quotes by Robert Jordan
If a woman does need a hero, she needs him today, not tomorrow.
Robert Jordan
Let most men have a finger and they will have the whole hand before you know. Let a clan cheif have a finger and he will have the entire arm.
Robert Jordan
The only way was forward, whatever lay at the end.
Robert Jordan
On a day of fire and blood, a tattered banner waved above Dumai's wells, bearing the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai. On a day of fire and blood and the one power, as prophecy had suggested, the unstained tower, broken, bent knee to the forgotten sign. The first nine Aes Sedai swore fealty to the Dragon Reborn, and the world was changed forever.
Robert Jordan
Jump in a hole without looking, and there'll be a snake in it every time.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
You could weave silk from pig bristles before you could make a man anything but a man.
Robert Jordan
You're welcome in my house when this is over. We'll open a cask of Master al'Vere's best brandy. We'll remember those who fell, and we'll tell our children how we stood when the clouds turned black and the world started to die. We'll tell them we stood shoulder to shoulder, and there was just no space for the Shadow to squeeze through.
Robert Jordan
If wishes were wings, pigs would fly.
Robert Jordan
These? Mat said, gesturing to his coat and shirt. I really have no idea. They were just down there. I'm completely baffled. He had been very pleased to learn that Seanchan guards-for all their stoic expressions and too-straight backs-responded to bribes like other people.
Robert Jordan
A man can get killed in there.
Robert Jordan
If it's not forbidden, then it's allowed
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
Beauty holds more worth than gold.
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
Demandred blocked Lan's attack but he breathed hoarsely. Who are you? Demandred whispered again. No one of this Age has such skill. Asmodean? No, no. He couldn't have fought me like this. Lews Therin? It is you behind that face, isn't it? I am just a man, Lan whispered. That is all I have ever been.
Robert Jordan
Sleep well and wake, Rand al'Thor.
Robert Jordan
When a woman says she will obey you, of her own will, it is time to sleep lightly and watch your back.
