""Master Rahl guide us. Master Rahl teach us. Master Rahl protect us. In your light we thrive. In your mercy we are sheltered. In your wisdom we are humbled. We live only to serve. Our lives are yours." — Words to the D'Haran devotion"

""Reality is irrelevant; Perception is everything." — Zedd"

"She returned to Demmin Nass, who stood where he had been told to wait. There were tears in his eyes. "Please, Mistress, command me." Kahlan pulled a knife from his belt, ignoring his request. With her other hand, she unfastened the flanged battle mace from its hook. "Take off your pants." She waited until he had pulled them off and stood once more before her. "Kneel." The coldness of her voice sent a shiver through Zedd as he watched the big man kneel before her... Kahlan turned the mace around, holding the handle down to Nass. "Hold this for me." He took it and held it at his side. Kahlan kneeled down in front of him, close. "Spread your legs," she ordered in an icy voice. She reached down between his legs, gripping him in one hand. He flinched, grimaced. "Don't move," she warned. He became still. "How many of the little boys you've molested have you killed?" "I don't know, Mistress. I don't keep count. I've done it for many years, since I was young. I don't always kill them. Most live." "Make a good guess." He thought a moment. "More than eighty. Less than one hundred twenty." Zedd could see the glint off the knife as she put it under him. Chase unfolded his arms, stood up straighter, his jaw muscles tightening at hearing what Demmin Nass had done. "I'm going to cut these off. When I do, I don't want you to make a sound," she whispered. "Not one sound. Don't even flinch." "Yes, Mistress." "Look into my eyes. I wish to see it in your eyes." Her arm with the knife strained, and jerked up. The blade came up red. Demmin's knuckles around the mace were white. The Mother Confessor rose to her feet in front of him. "Hold out your hand." Demmin held a shaking hand before her. She put the bloody sack in his palm. "Eat them." — Kahlan"

""The wizards were under constant threat, and forbidden by edict from using magic. They knew that sooner or later they would be used against the people. They may have made mistakes in the past, and disappointed their teacher, but the most important thing they were taught was to be protectors of the people and in no way to bring them harm. As their most loving act for the people, they gave their lives to stop Darken Rahl. I think their teacher would have been proud." — Kahlan"

"It was an odd-looking vine."

"'My watch?' Kahlan asked. Cara nodded. 'I'll stand it if you'd like.' Kahlan glanced over her shoulder as she sat up, seeing that Richard was still fast asleep. 'No,' she whispered. 'You get some sleep. You need rest, too.' Kahlan yawned and stretched her back. She took Cara's elbow and pulled her a short distance away out of earshot, and leaned close. 'I think your right. There's more than enough of us to stand watch and all still get enough rest. Let's let Richard sleep till morning.' Cara smiled her agreement before heading for her bedroll. Conspiracy designed to protect Richard suited the Mord-Sith."

""I'm not emaciated; I'm wiry. Most women find lean men appealing." — Zedd"

""Lord Rahl and the Mother Confessor are not without protection Captain, they have me. Anything more than a Mord Sith is just pretty brass buttons." — Cara"

""He mocks me whenever I say it looks like it will rain. His eyes get real big and he says, 'Magic! You must have magic, my boy, to read the clouds and know the future so.'" — Richard, on Zedd"

"Sister Dulcinia: "Prelate, men have uncontrollable urges." Verna: "So do I, but with the Creator's help I've so far managed not to strangle anyone.""

""You sure know a lot about magic," Jennsen said to Richard.Kahlan and Cara laughed so hard that Jennsen thought they might fall off their horses."I don't see why that's so funny," Richard grumbled.The two of them laughed all the harder."

"Your grandfather?" Jennsen asked. "You mean, Wizard Zorander?"Richard's whole face softened with a splendid grin. "You've met Zedd, then. He's wonderful, isn't he?""He tried to kill me," Jennsen muttered."Zedd?" Richard scoffed. "Zedd's harmless."

""They didn't like my Agiel. When you fixed the magic, I made them curse their mothers for ever meeting their fathers." — Cara"

""Zedd thought that Mord-Sith must strut, even when they were alone..." — Zedd"

""There can be powerful magic in acts of desperation." — Zedd"

""I think you are bound and determined, one way or another, to have your clothes off in the spirit house." — Richard to Kahlan"

""Lord Rahl, I know you like me the best, but stop thinking about my behind as I walk, and write your letter." — Berdine"

""Zedd has succumbed to a bout of loud cursing and arm flailing, he is swearing oaths about what he intends to do to Nathan, I am sure he will find most of his intentions physically impossible." — Ann"

""You actually read the reports?!?" — Ann"

""Zedd, I'm tired of being dead." — Kahlan"

""The last time I saw one of the boxes of Orden, it was open, and it was sucking my bastard father into the underworld." — Richard"

""Come to me, brother wind! Gather about! Blow a gale for me! What's the matter with the two of you? Did you eat some bad berries?" — Richard"

""The elders are becoming concerned. They would like to know when they can have their spirit house back." — Zedd, to Richard and Kahlan"

""You look funny without your pants." — Scarlet"

""She turned her face away. “Never. Get on with the torture before I fall asleep and miss it." — Cara"

""Well finally! We did everything but to leave a note pinned to the hem of her dress that said, Oh by the way, the Prelate and the prophet are still alive, you dolt." — Nathan Rahl"

""I have my wizard's rock along. Could I interest you? Naked?" — Zedd"

""Why would you say that? I've been told that I'm a most pleasant traveling companion. Do we have any of that sausage left?" — Zedd"

""Lord Rahl told us to protect you as we would protect him. If you are not careful, Mother Confessor, and needlessly endanger Lord Rahl...I will withdraw my permission for Richard to keep you." — Cara"

""You want to be healed, now? Or would you prefer to bleed to death so I can try my hand at resurrection?" — Nathan Rahl"

""If you get yourself killed trying to rule the world, I will personally break every bone in your body." — Cara"

""The time for desperation is upon us. Let's play." — Zedd"

""Nathan bought himself a sword today. He is now fighting invisible monsters. He is a one thousand year old child." — Ann"

"Zedd: "What's wrong with your leg?" Adie: "It not reach the ground. What be wrong with your eyes?""

"Berdine: Lord Rahl has very big hands. They fit perfectly over my breasts. Kahlan: Well, my breasts aren't as large as yours, Berdine. I think Raina's hands would fit mine better."
