More quotes by Robert Jordan
hope is like a piece of string when you’re drowning it just isn’t enough to get you out by itself.
Robert Jordan
Only a fool thinks his enemies stand still when he isn't looking, my Lord Dragon.
Robert Jordan
It has been quite a weight, hasn't it? Tam asked. What weight? Rand replied. That lost hand you've been carrying. Rand looked down at his stump. Yes. I believe it has been at that.
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
Pride fills me. I am sick with the pride that destroyed me.

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
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
Better to try understanding the sun than a woman.
Robert Jordan
No. Please do not name either child after me, Elayne. Let them live their own lives. My shadow will be long enough as it is.' -Rand
Robert Jordan
I had long wondered, Lan said to Tam. About the man who had given Rand that heron-marked blade. I wondered if he had truly earned it. Now I know. Lan raised his own sword in salute.
Robert Jordan
i can't understand her well son, you might as well try to understand the sun. derived form the book:fires of heaven by robert jordan.
Robert Jordan
When there are fish heads and blood in the water, you don't need to see the silverpike to know they are there.
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
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
Take what you want, and pay for it.
