Image
Tuon's eyes snapped open, and despite the dim light, she focused directly on Mat. She saw the knife in his hand, ready to throw. Then she looked over her shoulder.
Robert Jordan
Image
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.

I always get what I want in the end. And I think I want...ornamental ironwork. For the windows of my bedchamber.
Robert Jordan
Image
A wise ruler takes advice, but should never be seen to take it. Let them think you know more than you do. It will not harm them, and it will help you.
Robert Jordan
Image
A man who trusts everyone is a fool and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools if we live long enough.
Robert Jordan
Image
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
Image
We all make our limits, and we set them further out than we have any right.

Wounds to the pride are remembered long after wounds to the flesh.

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.

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

If you ask the lion to protect from from wolves, you have only chosen to end in one belly instead of another.

Trust is as slippery as a basket of eels sometimes.

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.

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.

On the heights, all paths are paved with daggers. -Old Seanchan saying

A cat for a hat, or a hat for a cat. But nothing for nothing.

What is too absurd to be believed is believed because it is too absurd to be a lie.

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.
