More quotes by Robert Jordan
But men often mistake killing and revenge for justice. They seldom have the stomach for justice.
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
A gnarled old branch dulls the blade that severs a sapling.
Robert Jordan
If you wish, you may call me Rand Sedai.
Robert Jordan
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
Robert Jordan
Sleep well and wake, Rand al'Thor.
Robert Jordan
Often you don't know whether a woman is friend, enemy or lover until it is too late. Sometimes, she is all three.
Robert Jordan
A woman's eyes cut deeper than a knife.
Robert Jordan
