More quotes by Robert Jordan
The road ahead of you is long, dark, and, I very much fear, bloodstained. I also very much fear that you will take us all down that road. But you must live to reach the end of it.
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
Whether the bear beats the wolf or the wolf beats the bear, the rabbit always loses.

Why, that's like being told to go up in the hills to find lions, only you do not know whether there are any lions, but if there are, they may be hunting you, and they may be disguised as bushes. Oh, and if you find any lions, try not to let them eat you before you can tell where they are. -Elayne

Robert Jordan
Has anyone ever told you that you should wear a hat? It would fit the missing eye quite well.' -Kathana to Mat
Robert Jordan
You cannot please everyone. You cannot soothe everyone.
Robert Jordan
The only man completely at peace is a man without a navel.
Robert Jordan
Rand al'Thor is a mule-headed, stone-willed fool of a...a...a man!
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
It was easier to trip a fool than to knock him down.
Robert Jordan
The corpse's hand reached up and grabbed Shaisam by the throat. He gasped, thrashing, as the corpse opened its eye. There's an odd thing about disease I once heard, Fain, Matrim Cauthon whispered. Once you catch a disease and survive, you can't get it again.
Robert Jordan
Often you don't know whether a woman is friend, enemy or lover until it is too late. Sometimes, she is all three.
Robert Jordan
A flapping tongue has killed more men than sudden storms ever did.
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
