More quotes by Robert Jordan
The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills, Perrin. We've become what we needed to become.- Rand Al'Thor
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
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
If you have a sword, and the Aielman has his bare hands, it is an even fight. If you're good.
Robert Jordan
If you must mount the gallows, give a jest to the crowd, a coin the hangman, and make the drop with a smile on your lips.
Robert Jordan
May Your Swords Stay Sharp! - Lan Pendragon
Robert Jordan
It was easier to trip a fool than to knock him down.
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.
Robert Jordan
I've come to give you your gift back, Mordeth, Cauthon whispered. I consider our debt paid in full.
Robert Jordan
Caution once forgotten could be forgotten once too often.
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
There were many good years. Good decades, good centuries. We believed we were living in paradise. Perhaps that was our downfall. We wanted our lives to be perfect, so we ignored imperfections. Problems were magnified through inattention and war might have become inevitable if the Bore hadn't ever made.
Robert Jordan
When the honey's out of the comb, there's no putting it back.
Robert Jordan
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
Robert Jordan
If wishes had wings, sheep would fly.
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
Hammer the iron that lies on your anvil instead of daydreaming about working silver.
Robert Jordan
Before I knew what was happening, I had a fistful of spears around my neck like a collar. I could have shaved myself with one sneeze.
Robert Jordan
Never kiss a girl whose brothers have knife scars.
Robert Jordan
The more bosom a woman displayed, the less she wanted you to look. Openly, at least.
Robert Jordan
