Robert Jordan
You have to understand, child. Everyone wants someone in their life, someone who cares for them, someone they can care for. Even a queen.
Robert Jordan
What is too absurd to be believed is believed because it is too absurd to be a lie.
Robert Jordan
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
The road ahead of you is long, dark, and, I very much fear, bloodstained. I also very much fear that you will take us all down that road. But you must live to reach the end of it.

The Light willing, we will see one another again, Rand said. He held out his hand to Perrin. Watch out for Mat. I'm honestly not sure what he's going to do, but I have a feeling it will be highly dangerous for all involved. Not like us, Perrin said, clasping Rand's forearm. You and I, we're much better at keeping to the safe paths.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
Prophecy is most dangerous when you try to make it happen... The Pattern weaves itself around you, but when you try to weave it, even you cannot hold it.
Robert Jordan
Men! Too blind to see what a stone could see, and too stubborn to be trusted to think for themselves.
Robert Jordan
The wheel weaves as the wheel wills
Robert Jordan
Love is an odd thing. As odd a thing as there is.
Robert Jordan
Let most men have a finger and they will have the whole hand before you know. Let a clan cheif have a finger and he will have the entire arm.
Robert Jordan
The corpse's hand reached up and grabbed Shaisam by the throat. He gasped, thrashing, as the corpse opened its eye. There's an odd thing about disease I once heard, Fain, Matrim Cauthon whispered. Once you catch a disease and survive, you can't get it again.
Robert Jordan
When the honey's out of the comb, there's no putting it back.
Robert Jordan
Hammer the iron that lies on your anvil instead of daydreaming about working silver.
Robert Jordan
Sandar came to stand beside him, frowning down at the crumpled High Lord. He does not look so mighty lying there, he said wonderingly. He does not look so much greater than me.
