Robert Jordan
Only a battle lost is sadder than a battle won.
Robert Jordan
You could weave silk from pig bristles before you could make a man anything but a man.
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
Tonight you will eat fish. Tomorrow, you may die.
Robert Jordan
Anyone who claimed that old age had brought them patience was either lying or senile.
