More quotes by Robert Jordan
Belief and order give strength. Have to clear rubble before you can build.
Robert Jordan
A man who trusts everyone is a fool and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools if we live long enough.
Robert Jordan
If you pursue two hares, both will escape you.
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
But men often mistake killing and revenge for justice. They seldom have the stomach for justice.
Robert Jordan
The people seemed nearly ostentatious about minding their own business.
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
Should and would build no bridges.
Robert Jordan
Always plan for the worst, child that way, all your surprises will be pleasant ones.
Robert Jordan
Fantasy is an area where it is possible to talk about right and wrong, good and evil, with a straight face. In mainstream fiction and even in a good deal of mystery, these things are presented as simply two sides of the same coin. Never really more than a matter of where you happen to be standing.
Robert Jordan
Sleep well and wake, Rand al'Thor.
Robert Jordan
It was easier to trip a fool than to knock him down.
Robert Jordan
Whether the bear beats the wolf or the wolf beats the bear, the rabbit always loses.
Robert Jordan
A man must know when to retreat from a woman, but a wise man knows that sometimes he must stand and face her.
Robert Jordan
Men! Too blind to see what a stone could see, and too stubborn to be trusted to think for themselves.
Robert Jordan
Always something new, always something I didn't expect, and sometimes it isn't horrible.
Robert Jordan
Dovie'andi se tovya sagain!
Robert Jordan
The nobles and the noble Houses maneuver for advantage. They do things they think will help them, or hurt and enemy, or both. Usually, it's all done in secrecy, or if not, they try to make it seem as if they're doing something other than what they are.
Robert Jordan
If you can't hide what you are going to do, do it so everybody thinks you are a fool.
Robert Jordan
Waiting turns men into bears in a barn, and women into cats in a sack.
Robert Jordan
