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.

The Light willing, we will see one another again, Rand said. He held out his hand to Perrin. Watch out for Mat. I'm honestly not sure what he's going to do, but I have a feeling it will be highly dangerous for all involved. Not like us, Perrin said, clasping Rand's forearm. You and I, we're much better at keeping to the safe paths.

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
It was easier to trip a fool than to knock him down.
Robert Jordan
Pride fills me. I am sick with the pride that destroyed me.
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
I had long wondered, Lan said to Tam. About the man who had given Rand that heron-marked blade. I wondered if he had truly earned it. Now I know. Lan raised his own sword in salute.
Robert Jordan
You will serve the Cyrstal Throne well. It would be a shame to see you assassinated too early. I will make certain that the first I send after you are newly trained, so that you may stop them with ease. -General Galgan to Mat
Robert Jordan
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
Robert Jordan
A man who trusts everyone is a fool and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools if we live long enough.
