Robert Jordan
A fool puts her hand into a hollow tree without finding out what's inside first.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
There was a wild light in his eyes. Bring your lightnings, Aes Sedai. I will dance with them.
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
You could weave silk from pig bristles before you could make a man anything but a man.
