We rode on the winds of the rising storm, We ran to the sounds of the thunder. We danced among the lightning bolts, and tore the world asunder.

More quotes by Robert Jordan
Duty is heavier than a mountain, Dai Shan.' That time, Lan did flinch. How long had it been since someone had been able to do that to him with mere words? He remembered teaching that same concept to a youth out of the Two Rivers. A sheepherder, innocent of the world, fearful of the fate laid out before him by the Pattern.
Robert Jordan
Take what you want, and pay for it.
Robert Jordan
If you pursue two hares, both will escape you.
Robert Jordan
A fool puts her hand into a hollow tree without finding out what's inside first.
Robert Jordan
Jump in a hole without looking, and there'll be a snake in it every time.
Robert Jordan
When there are fish heads and blood in the water, you don't need to see the silverpike to know they are there.
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
Waiting turns men into bears in a barn, and women into cats in a sack.
Robert Jordan
The leaf lives its appointed time, and does not struggle against the wind that carries it away. The leaf does no harm, and finally falls to nourish new leaves. So it should be with all men and women.
Robert Jordan
Before I knew what was happening, I had a fistful of spears around my neck like a collar. I could have shaved myself with one sneeze.
Robert Jordan
There was a wild light in his eyes. Bring your lightnings, Aes Sedai. I will dance with them.
Robert Jordan
Come to think of it, an Aes Sedai would probably follow a man off a cliff, too, if only to explain to him - in detail - all the things he was doing incorrectly in the way he went about killing himself.
Robert Jordan
The only way was forward, whatever lay at the end.
Robert Jordan
If you try putting a woman on a horse when she does not want to go, she may put a knife in your ribs.
Robert Jordan
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
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
You must surrender before you can guide.
Robert Jordan
Pessimism, she is a fond friend of yours, yes? - That's uncalled for. I barely know her. Mere acquaintances, at best.
Robert Jordan
He is born again! I feel him! The Dragon takes his first breath on the slope of Dragonmount! He is coming! He is coming! Light help us! Light help the world! He lies in the snow and cries like the thunder! He burns like the sun!
Robert Jordan
We all make our limits, and we set them further out than we have any right.
