More quotes by Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
The more women there are about, the softer a wise man steps.
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
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
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
