More quotes by Robert Jordan
You could weave silk from pig bristles before you could make a man anything but a man.
Robert Jordan
Young men and fools sometimes bear pain they do not have to as a badge of their pride. Or their foolishness.
Robert Jordan
I always get what I want in the end. And I think I want...ornamental ironwork. For the windows of my bedchamber.
Robert Jordan
I can rest when I'm dead.
Robert Jordan
Never kiss a girl whose brothers have knife scars.
Robert Jordan
Time to toss the dice
Robert Jordan
The wheel weaves as the wheel wills
Robert Jordan
Kill a man who needs killing, and sometimes others pay for it. The question is, was it worth doing it anyway? There's always a balance, you know. Good and evil. Light and Shadow. We would not be human if there wasn't a balance.
Robert Jordan
On the heights, all paths are paved with daggers. -Old Seanchan saying
Robert Jordan
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
Young men can be impetuous, young men can be rush, young men can be fools, but the Car'a'carn cannot let himself be a young man.
Robert Jordan
The only way to live is to die. I must die. I deserve only death.
Robert Jordan
You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway.
Robert Jordan
What you want is what you cannot have. What you cannot have is what you want.
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
Always something new, always something I didn't expect, and sometimes it isn't horrible.
Robert Jordan
These? Mat said, gesturing to his coat and shirt. I really have no idea. They were just down there. I'm completely baffled. He had been very pleased to learn that Seanchan guards-for all their stoic expressions and too-straight backs-responded to bribes like other people.
Robert Jordan
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.
Robert Jordan
The more bosom a woman displayed, the less she wanted you to look. Openly, at least.
Robert Jordan
Teach him how you will, a pig will never play the flute.
Robert Jordan
