More quotes by Robert Jordan
You're welcome in my house when this is over. We'll open a cask of Master al'Vere's best brandy.

Bound by the Oath against lying, Aes Sedai had carried the halftruth, the quarter-truth and the implication to arts.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
