In wars, boy, fools kill other fools for foolish causes
Robert Jordan
It's not evil, Rand. I know something evil when I smell it. This isn't evil, it's just incredibly stupid.
Robert Jordan
We all make our limits, and we set them further out than we have any right.
Robert Jordan
Always something new, always something I didn't expect, and sometimes it isn't horrible.
Robert Jordan
Rand, maybe that's the answer they give to everybody. Those snake people, I mean. Got to Rhuidean. Maybe we don't have to be here at all.' He did not believe it, but with that fog staring him in the face. ... Rand turned his head to look at him, not speaking. Finally he said, 'They never mentioned Rhuidean to me, Mat.' 'Oh, burn me,' he muttered.
Robert Jordan
I will hate the man you choose because he isn't me, and love him if he makes you smile.
Robert Jordan
No. Please do not name either child after me, Elayne. Let them live their own lives. My shadow will be long enough as it is.' -Rand
