More quotes by 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
Always leave a way out, unless you really want to find out how hard a man can fight when he’s nothing to lose.
Robert Jordan
If it hurts too much, make it hurt someone else instead.
Robert Jordan
Beauty holds more worth than gold.
Robert Jordan
I can rest when I'm dead.
Robert Jordan
Think if you want to stay alive. Fear will kill you if you don't control it.
Robert Jordan
Pride fills me. I am sick with the pride that destroyed me.
Robert Jordan
A cat for a hat, or a hat for a cat. But nothing for nothing.
Robert Jordan
I grew up around strong women weak men were pickled and salted. The women wouldn't waste time raising a weak boy.
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
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
Bound by the Oath against lying, Aes Sedai had carried the halftruth, the quarter-truth and the implication to arts.
Robert Jordan
A woman's eyes cut deeper than a knife.
Robert Jordan
Better to have one woman on your side than ten men.
Robert Jordan
On a day of fire and blood, a tattered banner waved above Dumai's wells, bearing the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai. On a day of fire and blood and the one power, as prophecy had suggested, the unstained tower, broken, bent knee to the forgotten sign. The first nine Aes Sedai swore fealty to the Dragon Reborn, and the world was changed forever.
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
One pretty woman means fun at the dance. Two pretty women means trouble in the house. Three pretty women means run at the hills.
Robert Jordan
It's never over, al'Thor. The battle's never done.
Robert Jordan
Nobody tells us how to be men. We just are.
Robert Jordan
Men forget, but never forgive women forgive, but never forget.
Robert Jordan
