"When a woman plays the fool, look for the man. That was one of Lini's favorites. Another was, Kittens tangle your yarn, men tangle your wits, and it's simple as breathing for both."

"The dead are never silent."

"I killed the whole world, and you can too, if you try hard."

"I would not mind you in my head, if you were not so clearly mad."

"I think the woman was born in Far Madding in a thunderstorm. She probably told the thunder to be quiet. It probably did."

"A man who trusts everyone is a fool, and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools, if we live long enough."

"I thought I could build, I was wrong. We are not builders, not you, or I, or the other one. We are destroyers. Destroyers."

"We are dead men. Dead men should be quiet in their graves, but they never are."

"Any day you wake up, maybe you die."

"You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway."

"Sometimes, pain is all that lets you know you're alive."

"We rode on the winds of the rising storm, We ran to the sounds of thunder. We danced among the lightning bolts And tore the world asunder."

"A man should never give promises in bed."

"A beautiful battle is one you don't have to fight."

"The boy was dead eager, which could soon lead to plain dead."

"To fight the raven you may make alliance with the serpent until the battle is done."

"There is some delight in ale and wine And some in girls with ankles fine But my delight, yes always mine Is to dance with Jak O’ the Shadows We will toss the dice however they fall And snuggle the girls be they short or tall Then follow lord Mat whenever he calls To dance with Jak O’ the Shadows."

"Let the lord of chaos rule."

"Ravens and crows. Rats. Mists and clouds. Insects and corruption. Strange events and odd occurences. The ordinary twisted and strange. Wonders. The dead are beginning to walk and some see them. Others do not, but more and more, we all fear the night. These have been our days. They rain upon us beneath a dead sky, crushing us with their fury, until as one, we beg, "Let it begin.""

"The end is near," Moridin said. "The Wheel has groaned its final rotation, the clock has lost its spring, the serpent heaves its final gasps. He must know pain of heart. He must know frustration, and he must know anguish. Bring these to him. And you will be rewarded."

"Sometimes, a wife must do what her husband cannot."

"How was he to cause war, as the prophecies say he must? How was he to break the nations and bind them to him? How could he 'slay his people with the sword of peace' or 'bind the nine moons to serve him' if he was locked away? Do the prophecies say that he will be 'unfettered'? Do they not speak of the 'chaos of his passing'? How can anything pass at all if he is kept in chains?"

"We can't go back, Mat. The Wheel has turned, for better or worse. And it will keep turning, as lights die and forests dim, storms call and skies break. Turn it will. The Wheel is not hope, and the Wheel does not care, the Wheel simply is. But so long as it turns, folk may hope, folk may care. For with light that fades, another will eventually grow, and each storm that rages must eventually die. As long as the Wheel turns. As long is it turns...."

"[Aviendha] didn't trust change. It couldn't be spotted or stabbed; it was more silent than any scout, more deadly than any assassin. No, she'd never trust it, but she would accept it."

"The more tragic things get, the more I feel like laughing."

"At the end of time, when the many become one, the last storm shall gather its angry winds to destroy a land already dying. And at its center, the blind man shall stand upon his own grave. There he shall see again, and weep for what has been wrought."

"What could not be changed must be endured."

"Only the dead could afford oblivion."

"By the Creator at the moment of creation. May we shelter safe beneath the Light, in the Creator’s hand."

"A man’s word must be as good as an oath sworn beneath the Light or it was no good at all."

"Anger narrowed the vision and made for foolish choices."

"Death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain."

"Only a fool thinks his enemies stand still when he isn't looking, my Lord Dragon."

"In wars, boy, fools kill other fools for foolish causes."

"Weep for what is lost forever."

"What is already woven cannot be undone. It will not make the trees grow again for you to bring the building down on our heads."

"Think if you want to stay alive. Fear will kill you if you don't control it."

"You'll use it [Perrin's axe], boy, and as long as you hate using it, you would use it more wisely than most men would. Wait. If ever you don't hate it any longer, then will be the time to throw it as far as you can and run the other way."

"Nobody tells us how to be men. We just are."

"The best lie is often one too ridiculous to be taken for a lie."

"The fact that the price must be paid is proof it is worth paying."

"The rose petal floats on water. The kingfisher flashes above the pond. Life and beauty swirl in the midst of death."

"When you have never known a thing except to dream, it becomes more than a talisman."

"I will never shame you. I will hate the man you choose because he is not me, and love him if he makes you smile. No woman deserves the sure knowledge of widow's black as her brideprice, you least of all."

"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."

"Teach him how you will, a pig will never play the flute."

"Take life as it comes. Run when you have to, fight when you must, rest when you can."

"An Aes Sedai never lies, but the truth she speaks, may not be the truth you think you hear."

"A pig painted gold is still a pig."

"Perrin ran a hand through his hair. The more he found out about kings, the less he liked them."
