Robert Jordan
A woman's eyes cut deeper than a knife.
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
But men often mistake killing and revenge for justice. They seldom have the stomach for justice.
Robert Jordan
Yes, I'm alive, Mat said. I'm usually pretty good at staying alive. I've only failed one time that I can remember, and it hardly counts.
