The lions sing and the hills take flight. The moon by day, and the sun by night. Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool. Let the Lord of Chaos rule.

More quotes by Robert Jordan
Loial, son of Arent, son of Halen, had secretly always wanted to be hasty.
Robert Jordan
No man should have another man's voice in his head.
Robert Jordan
One pretty woman means fun at the dance. Two pretty women means trouble in the house. Three pretty women means run at the hills.
Robert Jordan
Even a queen stubs her toe, but a wise woman watches the path.
Robert Jordan
Nobody tells us how to be men. We just are.
Robert Jordan
The best way to avoid trouble is to make sure no one wants to trouble you.
Robert Jordan
You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
Young men and fools sometimes bear pain they do not have to as a badge of their pride. Or their foolishness.
Robert Jordan
Wounds to the pride are remembered long after wounds to the flesh.
Robert Jordan
A man who trusts everyone is a fool and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools if we live long enough.
Robert Jordan
Why, that's like being told to go up in the hills to find lions, only you do not know whether there are any lions, but if there are, they may be hunting you, and they may be disguised as bushes. Oh, and if you find any lions, try not to let them eat you before you can tell where they are. -Elayne
Robert Jordan
From the time an Aiel boy becomes a man he will not sing anything but battle chants, or their dirge for the slain. I have heard them singing over their dead, and over those they have killed. That song is one to make the stones weep.
Robert Jordan
Even fools say something worthwhile now and again. Even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes.
Robert Jordan
I will hate the man you choose because he isn't me, and love him if he makes you smile.
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
It was easier to be brave when someone needed your protection.
Robert Jordan
Sleep well and wake, Rand al'Thor.

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.

When the honey's out of the comb, there's no putting it back.
