More quotes by Robert Jordan
Love is an odd thing. As odd a thing as there is.
Robert Jordan
Duty is heavier than a mountain, Dai Shan.' That time, Lan did flinch. How long had it been since someone had been able to do that to him with mere words? He remembered teaching that same concept to a youth out of the Two Rivers. A sheepherder, innocent of the world, fearful of the fate laid out before him by the Pattern.
Robert Jordan
If you wish, you may call me Rand Sedai.
Robert Jordan
As the Wheel of Time turns, places wear many names. Men wear many names, many faces. Different faces, but always the same man. Yet no one knows the Great Pattern the Wheel weaves, or even the Pattern of an Age. We can only watch, and study, and hope.
Robert Jordan
Even fools say something worthwhile now and again. Even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes.
Robert Jordan
Wounds to the pride are remembered long after wounds to the flesh.
Robert Jordan
Two hands. One to destroy, the other to save. Which had he lost?
Robert Jordan
On the heights, all paths are paved with daggers. -Old Seanchan saying
Robert Jordan
Kill a man who needs killing, and sometimes others pay for it. The question is, was it worth doing it anyway? There's always a balance, you know. Good and evil. Light and Shadow. We would not be human if there wasn't a balance.
Robert Jordan
Teach him how you will, a pig will never play the flute.
Robert Jordan
Whether the bear beats the wolf or the wolf beats the bear, the rabbit always loses.
Robert Jordan
A spoonful of hope and a cup of despair
Robert Jordan
If it hurts too much, make it hurt someone else instead.
Robert Jordan
My mother says men are different from us. She says we want to be in love, but only with the one we want a man needs to be in love, but he will love the first woman to tie a string to his heart. - Egwene, speaking to Elayne
Robert Jordan
The best lie is often one too ridiculous to be taken for a lie.
Robert Jordan
Come to think of it, an Aes Sedai would probably follow a man off a cliff, too, if only to explain to him - in detail - all the things he was doing incorrectly in the way he went about killing himself.
Robert Jordan
Men! Too blind to see what a stone could see, and too stubborn to be trusted to think for themselves.
Robert Jordan
Waiting turns men into bears in a barn, and women into cats in a sack.
Robert Jordan
Sometimes six and six make a dozen, and sometimes they make a mess
Robert Jordan
Courage to strengthen, fire to blind, music to daze, iron to bind.
Robert Jordan
