Robert Jordan
The end is near, Moridin said. The Wheel has groaned its final rotation, the clock has lost its spring, the serpent heaves its final gasps.
Robert Jordan
The best way to avoid trouble is to make sure no one wants to trouble you.
Robert Jordan
Loial, son of Arent, son of Halen, had secretly always wanted to be hasty.
Robert Jordan
She’s not for you, nor you for her at least, not in the way you both want.
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
A man can get killed in there.
