It was easier to be brave when someone needed your protection.
Robert Jordan
Image
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
Image
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.

Only a battle lost is sadder than a battle won.

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
Image
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
Image
A man who trusts everyone is a fool and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools if we live long enough.

Pessimism, she is a fond friend of yours, yes? - That's uncalled for. I barely know her. Mere acquaintances, at best.
Robert Jordan
Image
It's never over, al'Thor. The battle's never done.
Robert Jordan
Image
Teach him how you will, a pig will never play the flute.
Robert Jordan
Image
We rode on the winds of the rising storm, We ran to the sounds of the thunder. We danced among the lightning bolts, and tore the world asunder.

Whether the bear beats the wolf or the wolf beats the bear, the rabbit always loses.

It is the enemy you underestimate who kills you.
