More quotes by Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
A woman's eyes cut deeper than a knife.
Robert Jordan
Dance well with a woman, and she's halfway yours.
Robert Jordan
The lions sing and the hills take flight. The moon by day, and the sun by night. Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool. Let the Lord of Chaos rule.
Robert Jordan
Sometimes six and six make a dozen, and sometimes they make a mess
Robert Jordan
A man can get killed in there.
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
We are always more afraid than we wish to be, but we can always be braver than we expect.
Robert Jordan
It was easier to be brave when someone needed your protection.
Robert Jordan
Should and would build no bridges.
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

Robert Jordan
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
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

Robert Jordan
The rose petal floats on water. The kingfisher flashes above the pond. Life and beauty swirl in the midst of 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
No. Please do not name either child after me, Elayne. Let them live their own lives. My shadow will be long enough as it is.' -Rand
