Robert Jordan
You cannot please everyone. You cannot soothe everyone.
Robert Jordan
The leaf lives its appointed time, and does not struggle against the wind that carries it away. The leaf does no harm, and finally falls to nourish new leaves. So it should be with all men and women.
Robert Jordan
Sleep well and wake, Rand al'Thor.
Robert Jordan
