More quotes by Robert Jordan
Often you don't know whether a woman is friend, enemy or lover until it is too late. Sometimes, she is all three.
Robert Jordan
I can rest when I'm dead.
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
It was easier to be brave when someone needed your protection.
Robert Jordan
Kill a man who needs killing, and sometimes others pay for it. The question is, was it worth doing it anyway? There's always a balance, you know. Good and evil. Light and Shadow. We would not be human if there wasn't a balance.
Robert Jordan
The leaf lives its appointed time, and does not struggle against the wind that carries it away. The leaf does no harm, and finally falls to nourish new leaves. So it should be with all men and women.
Robert Jordan
When a woman says she will obey you, of her own will, it is time to sleep lightly and watch your back.
Robert Jordan
Caution once forgotten could be forgotten once too often.
Robert Jordan
Why, that's like being told to go up in the hills to find lions, only you do not know whether there are any lions, but if there are, they may be hunting you, and they may be disguised as bushes. Oh, and if you find any lions, try not to let them eat you before you can tell where they are. -Elayne
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
Tonight you will eat fish. Tomorrow, you may die.
Robert Jordan
When you saw me with a dagger in hand - as if to throw at you - you didn't call for your guards. You didn't fear I was here to kill you. You looked over your shoulder to see what I was aiming at. That's the most loving gesture I think a man could receive from a woman. Unless you'd like to sit on my knee for a while.
Robert Jordan
If your enemy offers you two targets, strike at a third.
Robert Jordan
Wounds to the pride are remembered long after wounds to the flesh.
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
Any day you wake up, maybe you die.
Robert Jordan
What is too absurd to be believed is believed because it is too absurd to be a lie.
Robert Jordan
Jump in a hole without looking, and there'll be a snake in it every time.
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
I will hate the man you choose because he isn't me, and love him if he makes you smile.
Robert Jordan
