Cheer the bull, or cheer the bear cheer both, and you will be trampled and eaten.
Robert Jordan
The Light willing, we will see one another again, Rand said. He held out his hand to Perrin. Watch out for Mat. I'm honestly not sure what he's going to do, but I have a feeling it will be highly dangerous for all involved. Not like us, Perrin said, clasping Rand's forearm.

What you want is what you cannot have. What you cannot have is what you want.
Robert Jordan
Any day you wake up, maybe you die.
Robert Jordan
It's too late to change your mind after you've jumped off the cliff.
Robert Jordan
If you must mount the gallows, give a jest to the crowd, a coin the hangman, and make the drop with a smile on your lips.
Robert Jordan
On the heights, all paths are paved with daggers. -Old Seanchan saying
Robert Jordan
The more women there are about, the softer a wise man steps.
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
