More quotes by Robert Jordan
Come to think of it, an Aes Sedai would probably follow a man off a cliff, too, if only to explain to him - in detail - all the things he was doing incorrectly in the way he went about killing himself.

Fantasy is an area where it is possible to talk about right and wrong, good and evil, with a straight face. In mainstream fiction and even in a good deal of mystery, these things are presented as simply two sides of the same coin. Never really more than a matter of where you happen to be standing.
Robert Jordan
On the heights, all paths are paved with daggers. -Old Seanchan saying
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.

Stopping a man from what he wants to do is like taking a sweet from a child. Sometimes you have to do it, but sometimes it just isn't worth the trouble.
Robert Jordan
You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones. Remember this, on this journey you insist on making. If you die, I will not survive you long.
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
He is born again! I feel him! The Dragon takes his first breath on the slope of Dragonmount! He is coming! He is coming! Light help us! Light help the world! He lies in the snow and cries like the thunder! He burns like the sun!
Robert Jordan
Remember that any meal can be your last. You chose to travel with us, so tonight you will eat fish. Tomorrow, you may die.
Robert Jordan
One pretty woman means fun at the dance. Two pretty women means trouble in the house. Three pretty women means run at the hills.
Robert Jordan

Demandred blocked Lan's attack but he breathed hoarsely. Who are you? Demandred whispered again. No one of this Age has such skill. Asmodean? No, no. He couldn't have fought me like this. Lews Therin? It is you behind that face, isn't it? I am just a man, Lan whispered. That is all I have ever been.
