More quotes by Robert Jordan
Waiting turns men into bears in a barn, and women into cats in a sack.
Robert Jordan
It's too late to change your mind after you've jumped off the cliff.
Robert Jordan
From the time an Aiel boy becomes a man he will not sing anything but battle chants, or their dirge for the slain. I have heard them singing over their dead, and over those they have killed. That song is one to make the stones weep.
Robert Jordan
For the young, death is an enemy they wish to try their strength against. For those of us a little older, she is an old friend, an old lover, but one we are not eager to meet again soon.
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
hope is like a piece of string when you’re drowning it just isn’t enough to get you out by itself.
Robert Jordan
We are always more afraid than we wish to be, but we can always be braver than we expect.
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.

Dovie'andi se tovya sagain!
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
A cat for a hat, or a hat for a cat. But nothing for nothing.
Robert Jordan
Hammer the iron that lies on your anvil instead of daydreaming about working silver.
Robert Jordan
If you don't know everything, you must go on with what you do know.
Robert Jordan
Better to face the bear than run from it.
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
Storms rumble beyond the horizon, and the fires of heaven purge the earth. There is no salvation without destruction, no hope this side of death.
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
If wishes had wings, sheep would fly.
Robert Jordan
One pretty woman means fun at the dance. Two pretty women means trouble in the house. Three pretty women means run at the hills.
Robert Jordan
The only man completely at peace is a man without a navel.
