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
The rose petal floats on water. The kingfisher flashes above the pond. Life and beauty swirl in the midst of death.
Robert Jordan
Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today. -- Mat Cauthon
Robert Jordan
A spoonful of hope and a cup of despair
Robert Jordan
The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills, Perrin. We've become what we needed to become.- Rand Al'Thor
Robert Jordan
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
Robert Jordan
These? Mat said, gesturing to his coat and shirt. I really have no idea. They were just down there. I'm completely baffled. He had been very pleased to learn that Seanchan guards-for all their stoic expressions and too-straight backs-responded to bribes like other people.
Robert Jordan
Prophecy is most dangerous when you try to make it happen... The Pattern weaves itself around you, but when you try to weave it, even you cannot hold it.
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
Even fools say something worthwhile now and again. Even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes.
Robert Jordan
Men! Too blind to see what a stone could see, and too stubborn to be trusted to think for themselves.
Robert Jordan
We all make our limits, and we set them further out than we have any right.
Robert Jordan
You cannot please everyone. You cannot soothe everyone.
Robert Jordan
You trouble me so, Rand al'Thor. Light, sometimes I think the Creator made you just to trouble me.
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
Only a fool thinks his enemies stand still when he isn't looking, my Lord Dragon.
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
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
When the honey's out of the comb, there's no putting it back.
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.
