More quotes by Robert Jordan
Pride fills me. I am sick with the pride that destroyed me.
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

Robert Jordan
Think if you want to stay alive. Fear will kill you if you don't control it.
Robert Jordan
What you want is what you cannot have. What you cannot have is what you want.
Robert Jordan
To fight the raven you may make alliance with the serpent until the battle is done.

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
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
Let most men have a finger and they will have the whole hand before you know. Let a clan cheif have a finger and he will have the entire arm.
Robert Jordan
You trouble me so, Rand al'Thor. Light, sometimes I think the Creator made you just to trouble me.
Robert Jordan
Strange clothes you wear, Child of the Dragon. Has the Wheel turned so far? Do the People of the Dragon return to the first Covenant? But you wear a sword. That is neither now nor then.
Robert Jordan
Should and would build no bridges.
Robert Jordan
When there are fish heads and blood in the water, you don't need to see the silverpike to know they are there.
Robert Jordan
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
