More quotes by Robert Jordan
The lions sing and the hills take flight. The moon by day, and the sun by night. Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool. Let the Lord of Chaos rule.
Robert Jordan
If you wish, you may call me Rand Sedai.
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
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
Think if you want to stay alive. Fear will kill you if you don't control it.
Robert Jordan

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
If you have a sword, and the Aielman has his bare hands, it is an even fight. If you're good.
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
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're not asking me to guess the mind of Matrim Cauthon, are you? Elayne asked. I'm convinced that Mat only acts simple so that people will let him get away with more.
Robert Jordan
It was easier to trip a fool than to knock him down.
Robert Jordan
A flapping tongue has killed more men than sudden storms ever did.
Robert Jordan
Tuon's eyes snapped open, and despite the dim light, she focused directly on Mat. She saw the knife in his hand, ready to throw. Then she looked over her shoulder.
Robert Jordan
If you try putting a woman on a horse when she does not want to go, she may put a knife in your ribs.
Robert Jordan
The more women there are about, the softer a wise man steps.
Robert Jordan
The only man completely at peace is a man without a navel.
