Robert Jordan
To anger an Aes Sedai is to put your head in a hornets' nest.

Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
Thank you, the young mother said again. Thank you. The Black Tower protects, Logain heard himself say. Always. I will send him to you to be tested when he is of age, the woman promised, holding her son. I would have him join you, if he has the talent. The talent. Not the curse. The talent.
Robert Jordan
Belief and order give strength. Have to clear rubble before you can build.
Robert Jordan
Never kiss a girl whose brothers have knife scars.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
Anyone who claimed that old age had brought them patience was either lying or senile.
Robert Jordan
