More quotes by Robert Jordan
Fantasy is an area where it is possible to talk about right and wrong, good and evil, with a straight face. In mainstream fiction and even in a good deal of mystery, these things are presented as simply two sides of the same coin. Never really more than a matter of where you happen to be standing.
Robert Jordan
Pride fills me. I am sick with the pride that destroyed me.
Robert Jordan
Always something new, always something I didn't expect, and sometimes it isn't horrible.

Robert Jordan
There were many good years. Good decades, good centuries. We believed we were living in paradise. Perhaps that was our downfall. We wanted our lives to be perfect, so we ignored imperfections. Problems were magnified through inattention and war might have become inevitable if the Bore hadn't ever made.
Robert Jordan
Nobody tells us how to be men. We just are.
Robert Jordan
No. Please do not name either child after me, Elayne. Let them live their own lives. My shadow will be long enough as it is.' -Rand
Robert Jordan
Waiting turns men into bears in a barn, and women into cats in a sack.
