Robert Jordan
Only a battle lost is sadder than a battle won.
Robert Jordan
Demandred blocked Lan's attack but he breathed hoarsely. Who are you? Demandred whispered again. No one of this Age has such skill. Asmodean? No, no. He couldn't have fought me like this. Lews Therin? It is you behind that face, isn't it? I am just a man, Lan whispered. That is all I have ever been.
Robert Jordan
A spoonful of hope and a cup of despair
Robert Jordan
Bound by the Oath against lying, Aes Sedai had carried the halftruth, the quarter-truth and the implication to arts.
Robert Jordan
I can rest when I'm dead.
Robert Jordan
But men often mistake killing and revenge for justice. They seldom have the stomach for justice.
Robert Jordan
