We'll tell them we stood shoulder to shoulder, and there was just no space for the Shadow to squeeze through.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
Thank you, the young mother said again. Thank you. The Black Tower protects, Logain heard himself say. Always. I will send him to you to be tested when he is of age, the woman promised, holding her son. I would have him join you, if he has the talent. The talent. Not the curse. The talent.
Robert Jordan
Two hands. One to destroy, the other to save. Which had he lost?
Robert Jordan
Rand al'Thor is a mule-headed, stone-willed fool of a...a...a man!
Robert Jordan
Has anyone ever told you that you should wear a hat? It would fit the missing eye quite well.' -Kathana to Mat
