More quotes by 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
A man's dreams are a maze even he cannot know.
Robert Jordan
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
To anger an Aes Sedai is to put your head in a hornets' nest.
Robert Jordan
We all make our limits, and we set them further out than we have any right.
Robert Jordan
Love is an odd thing. As odd a thing as there is.
Robert Jordan
Men! Too blind to see what a stone could see, and too stubborn to be trusted to think for themselves.
Robert Jordan
Storms rumble beyond the horizon, and the fires of heaven purge the earth. There is no salvation without destruction, no hope this side of death.
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
Life is a dream from which we all must wake before we can dream again.
Robert Jordan
Caution once forgotten could be forgotten once too often.
Robert Jordan
Care for the living. I'll weep for the dead later. - Perrin Aybara
Robert Jordan
Even a queen stubs her toe, but a wise woman watches the path.
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
Robert Jordan
It's not evil, Rand. I know something evil when I smell it. This isn't evil, it's just incredibly stupid.
Robert Jordan
Take what you want, and pay for it.
Robert Jordan
Facing them (men) with knives and spears was much easier than loving them, much easier.
Robert Jordan
What you want is what you cannot have. What you cannot have is what you want.
Robert Jordan
The leaf lives its appointed time, and does not struggle against the wind that carries it away. The leaf does no harm, and finally falls to nourish new leaves. So it should be with all men and women.
Robert Jordan
Yes, I'm alive, Mat said. I'm usually pretty good at staying alive. I've only failed one time that I can remember, and it hardly counts.
Robert Jordan
