More quotes by Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
Take what you want, and pay for it.

Robert Jordan
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
Robert Jordan
The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills, Perrin. We've become what we needed to become.- Rand Al'Thor
Robert Jordan
It's not evil, Rand. I know something evil when I smell it. This isn't evil, it's just incredibly stupid.
