May Your Swords Stay Sharp! - Lan Pendragon
Robert Jordan
A spoonful of hope and a cup of despair
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. You and I, we're much better at keeping to the safe paths.
Robert Jordan
You could weave silk from pig bristles before you could make a man anything but a man.
Robert Jordan
It was easier to trip a fool than to knock him down.
Robert Jordan
When you saw me with a dagger in hand - as if to throw at you - you didn't call for your guards. You didn't fear I was here to kill you. You looked over your shoulder to see what I was aiming at. That's the most loving gesture I think a man could receive from a woman. Unless you'd like to sit on my knee for a while.
Robert Jordan
Nobody tells us how to be men. We just are.
Robert Jordan
Perrin, my father says a general can take care of the living or weep for the dead, but he cannot do both.
Robert Jordan
There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet.
Robert Jordan
Strange clothes you wear, Child of the Dragon. Has the Wheel turned so far? Do the People of the Dragon return to the first Covenant? But you wear a sword. That is neither now nor then.
Robert Jordan
Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today. -- Mat Cauthon
Robert Jordan
Sometimes six and six make a dozen, and sometimes they make a mess
Robert Jordan
Teach him how you will, a pig will never play the flute.
Robert Jordan
For the young, death is an enemy they wish to try their strength against. For those of us a little older, she is an old friend, an old lover, but one we are not eager to meet again soon.
Robert Jordan
Beauty holds more worth than gold.
Robert Jordan
If you have a sword, and the Aielman has his bare hands, it is an even fight. If you're good.
Robert Jordan
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
Robert Jordan
You trouble me so, Rand al'Thor. Light, sometimes I think the Creator made you just to trouble me.
Robert Jordan
Sandar came to stand beside him, frowning down at the crumpled High Lord. He does not look so mighty lying there, he said wonderingly. He does not look so much greater than me.
Robert Jordan
You're not asking me to guess the mind of Matrim Cauthon, are you? Elayne asked. I'm convinced that Mat only acts simple so that people will let him get away with more.
