On a day of fire and blood, a tattered banner waved above Dumai's wells, bearing the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai. On a day of fire and blood and the one power, as prophecy had suggested, the unstained tower, broken, bent knee to the forgotten sign. The first nine Aes Sedai swore fealty to the Dragon Reborn, and the world was changed forever.

Rand al'Thor is a mule-headed, stone-willed fool of a...a...a man!

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.

Always something new, always something I didn't expect, and sometimes it isn't horrible.

The nobles and the noble Houses maneuver for advantage. They do things they think will help them, or hurt and enemy, or both. Usually, it's all done in secrecy, or if not, they try to make it seem as if they're doing something other than what they are.

My mother says men are different from us. She says we want to be in love, but only with the one we want a man needs to be in love, but he will love the first woman to tie a string to his heart. - Egwene, speaking to Elayne
