More quotes by Robert Jordan
If wishes were wings, pigs would fly.
Robert Jordan
Loial, son of Arent, son of Halen, had secretly always wanted to be hasty.
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
Most of those we call heroes only did what they had to do.
Robert Jordan
The rose petal floats on water. The kingfisher flashes above the pond. Life and beauty swirl in the midst of death.
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
Men always seem to refuse to admit they are sick until they're sick enough to make twice as much work for women. Then they claim they're well too soon, with the same result.
Robert Jordan
The people seemed nearly ostentatious about minding their own business.
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
You break your neck, and I’ll see it mended just so I can break it again.
Robert Jordan
The fact that the price must be paid is proof it is worth paying.
Robert Jordan
Stopping a man from what he wants to do is like taking a sweet from a child. Sometimes you have to do it, but sometimes it just isn't worth the trouble.
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
You have to understand, child. Everyone wants someone in their life, someone who cares for them, someone they can care for. Even a queen.
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
Always plan for the worst, child that way, all your surprises will be pleasant ones.
Robert Jordan
On a day of fire and blood, a tattered banner waved above Dumai's wells, bearing the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai. On a day of fire and blood and the one power, as prophecy had suggested, the unstained tower, broken, bent knee to the forgotten sign. The first nine Aes Sedai swore fealty to the Dragon Reborn, and the world was changed forever.
Robert Jordan
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
Robert Jordan
Never kiss a girl whose brothers have knife scars.
Robert Jordan
A gnarled old branch dulls the blade that severs a sapling.
