Robert Jordan
Cheer the bull, or cheer the bear cheer both, and you will be trampled and eaten.

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?

Robert Jordan
Perrin, my father says a general can take care of the living or weep for the dead, but he cannot do both.
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
