More quotes by Robert Jordan
Care for the living. I'll weep for the dead later. - Perrin Aybara
Robert Jordan
Caution once forgotten could be forgotten once too often.
Robert Jordan
If you can't hide what you are going to do, do it so everybody thinks you are a fool.
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
Pessimism, she is a fond friend of yours, yes? - That's uncalled for. I barely know her. Mere acquaintances, at best.
Robert Jordan
The only way to live is to die. I must die. I deserve only death.
Robert Jordan
You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones. Remember this, on this journey you insist on making. If you die, I will not survive you long.
Robert Jordan
When you saw me with a dagger in hand - as if to throw at you - you didn't call for your guards. You didn't fear I was here to kill you. You looked over your shoulder to see what I was aiming at. That's the most loving gesture I think a man could receive from a woman. Unless you'd like to sit on my knee for a while.
Robert Jordan
A spoonful of hope and a cup of despair
Robert Jordan
Loial, son of Arent, son of Halen, had secretly always wanted to be hasty.
Robert Jordan
hope is like a piece of string when you’re drowning it just isn’t enough to get you out by itself.
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
A wise ruler takes advice, but should never be seen to take it. Let them think you know more than you do. It will not harm them, and it will help you.
Robert Jordan
If wishes were wings, pigs would fly.
Robert Jordan
Better to face the bear than run from it.
Robert Jordan
Always plan for the worst, child that way, all your surprises will be pleasant ones.
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
If you try putting a woman on a horse when she does not want to go, she may put a knife in your ribs.
Robert Jordan
It's too late to change your mind after you've jumped off the cliff.
Robert Jordan
Thank you, the young mother said again. Thank you. The Black Tower protects, Logain heard himself say. Always. I will send him to you to be tested when he is of age, the woman promised, holding her son. I would have him join you, if he has the talent. The talent. Not the curse. The talent.
Robert Jordan
