Robert Jordan
Only a fool thinks his enemies stand still when he isn't looking, my Lord Dragon.
Robert Jordan
There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet.
Robert Jordan
Sometimes six and six make a dozen, and sometimes they make a mess
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
If it hurts too much, make it hurt someone else instead.
