A spoonful of hope and a cup of despair
Robert Jordan
The only way was forward, whatever lay at the end.
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.
Robert Jordan
The rose petal floats on water. The kingfisher flashes above the pond. Life and beauty swirl in the midst of death.
Robert Jordan
Stopping a man from what he wants to do is like taking a sweet from a child. Sometimes you have to do it, but sometimes it just isn't worth the trouble.
Robert Jordan
Young men can be impetuous, young men can be rush, young men can be fools, but the Car'a'carn cannot let himself be a young man.
