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
It is the enemy you underestimate who kills you.
Robert Jordan
He is born again! I feel him! The Dragon takes his first breath on the slope of Dragonmount! He is coming! He is coming! Light help us! Light help the world! He lies in the snow and cries like the thunder! He burns like the sun!
Robert Jordan
Pessimism, she is a fond friend of yours, yes? - That's uncalled for. I barely know her. Mere acquaintances, at best.
Robert Jordan
If you wish, you may call me Rand Sedai.
Robert Jordan
Young men and fools sometimes bear pain they do not have to as a badge of their pride. Or their foolishness.
Robert Jordan
A fool puts her hand into a hollow tree without finding out what's inside first.
Robert Jordan
You're welcome in my house when this is over. We'll open a cask of Master al'Vere's best brandy. We'll remember those who fell, and we'll tell our children how we stood when the clouds turned black and the world started to die. We'll tell them we stood shoulder to shoulder, and there was just no space for the Shadow to squeeze through.
Robert Jordan
In the Borderlands, sheepherder, if a man has the raising of a child, that child is his, and none can say different.
Robert Jordan
As the Wheel of Time turns, places wear many names. Men wear many names, many faces. Different faces, but always the same man. Yet no one knows the Great Pattern the Wheel weaves, or even the Pattern of an Age. We can only watch, and study, and hope.
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
There were many good years. Good decades, good centuries. We believed we were living in paradise. Perhaps that was our downfall. We wanted our lives to be perfect, so we ignored imperfections. Problems were magnified through inattention and war might have become inevitable if the Bore hadn't ever made.
Robert Jordan
Anyone who claimed that old age had brought them patience was either lying or senile.
Robert Jordan
If you ask the lion to protect from from wolves, you have only chosen to end in one belly instead of another.
Robert Jordan
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
Robert Jordan
The wheel of a man's life. No mercy. No pity.
Robert Jordan
Jump in a hole without looking, and there'll be a snake in it every time.
Robert Jordan
Caution once forgotten could be forgotten once too often.
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
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
