More quotes by Robert Jordan
The only man completely at peace is a man without a navel.
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
The more women there are about, the softer a wise man steps.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
You're welcome in my house when this is over. We'll open a cask of Master al'Vere's best brandy. We'll remember those who fell, and we'll tell our children how we stood when the clouds turned black and the world started to die. We'll tell them we stood shoulder to shoulder, and there was just no space for the Shadow to squeeze through.
Robert Jordan
Storms rumble beyond the horizon, and the fires of heaven purge the earth. There is no salvation without destruction, no hope this side of death.
Robert Jordan
From the time an Aiel boy becomes a man he will not sing anything but battle chants, or their dirge for the slain. I have heard them singing over their dead, and over those they have killed. That song is one to make the stones weep.
Robert Jordan
I do not like odd things until I can understand them.
Robert Jordan
A cat for a hat, or a hat for a cat. But nothing for nothing.
Robert Jordan
I grew up around strong women weak men were pickled and salted. The women wouldn't waste time raising a weak boy.
Robert Jordan
The wheel of a man's life. No mercy. No pity.
Robert Jordan
No man should have another man's voice in his head.
Robert Jordan
The end is near, Moridin said. The Wheel has groaned its final rotation, the clock has lost its spring, the serpent heaves its final gasps.
Robert Jordan
A gnarled old branch dulls the blade that severs a sapling.
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
Time to toss the dice
Robert Jordan
Never kiss a girl whose brothers have knife scars.
Robert Jordan
Teach him how you will, a pig will never play the flute.
Robert Jordan
If your enemy offers you two targets, strike at a third.
