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.

More quotes by Robert Jordan
Perrin, my father says a general can take care of the living or weep for the dead, but he cannot do both.
Robert Jordan
Come to think of it, an Aes Sedai would probably follow a man off a cliff, too, if only to explain to him - in detail - all the things he was doing incorrectly in the way he went about killing himself.
Robert Jordan
You will serve the Cyrstal Throne well. It would be a shame to see you assassinated too early. I will make certain that the first I send after you are newly trained, so that you may stop them with ease. -General Galgan to Mat
Robert Jordan
Jump in a hole without looking, and there'll be a snake in it every time.
Robert Jordan
On a day of fire and blood, a tattered banner waved above Dumai's wells, bearing the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai. On a day of fire and blood and the one power, as prophecy had suggested, the unstained tower, broken, bent knee to the forgotten sign. The first nine Aes Sedai swore fealty to the Dragon Reborn, and the world was changed forever.
Robert Jordan
Any day you wake up, maybe you die.
Robert Jordan
Bound by the Oath against lying, Aes Sedai had carried the halftruth, the quarter-truth and the implication to arts.
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
Time to toss the dice
Robert Jordan
He came like the wind, like the wind touched everything, and like the wind was gone. -from The Dragon Reborn. By Loial, son of Arent son of Halan, the Fourth Age.
Robert Jordan
A man can get killed in there.
Robert Jordan
She’s not for you, nor you for her at least, not in the way you both want.
Robert Jordan
It's too late to change your mind after you've jumped off the cliff.
Robert Jordan
If your enemy offers you two targets, strike at a third.
Robert Jordan
It is the enemy you underestimate who kills you.
Robert Jordan
It was easier to trip a fool than to knock him down.
Robert Jordan
From the time an Aiel boy becomes a man he will not sing anything but battle chants, or their dirge for the slain. I have heard them singing over their dead, and over those they have killed. That song is one to make the stones weep.
Robert Jordan
Teach him how you will, a pig will never play the flute.
Robert Jordan
The only way to live is to die. I must die. I deserve only death.
Robert Jordan
If a woman does need a hero, she needs him today, not tomorrow.
Robert Jordan
