     "I know you hate the word. I'll try my best not to treat you like porcelain but if you ask me to watch you die, I will tie you like a lamb for market and send you off to Mistress Luhhan. She won't stand for any such nonsense."
     "You would too, wouldn't you? Don't think you would not dance with the Dark One if you tried, though."

     "Can't you do something to help him?" Nynaeve demanded. "You are the one of us who is supposed to know everything, or pretends to. Can't you teach him? Some part of it, anyway? And don't quote proverbs about birds teaching fish to fly."
     "You would know better," Moiraine replied, "if you had taken advantage of your studies that you should have. You should know better. You want to know how to use the Power, Nynaeve, but you do not care to learn about the power. Saidin is not Saidar. The flows are different, the ways of weaving are different. The bird has a better chance."

6, Doorways, 120

     "War will come whether Rand begins it or not. The Forsaken will not stand idly and wait. Sammael cannot be the only one to have seized a nation's reins, just the lone one we know. They will come after Rand eventually, in their own persons perhaps, but certainly with whatever armies they command. And the nations that are free of the Forsaken? How many will cry glory to the Dragon Banner and follow him to Tarmon Gai'don, and how many of them will convince themselves the fall of the Stone is a lie and Rand only another false Dragon who must be put down, a false Dragon perhaps strong enough to threaten them if they do not move against him first? One way or another, war will come."

     "When I marry, it will be because I want to, not just because a man expects me to love him. I will be gentle with him, Elayne, but before I am done, he will know he is free. Whether he wants to be or not. My mother says men are different from us. She says we want to be in love, but only with the one we want; a man needs to be in love, but he will love the first woman to tie a string to his heart."

Egwene al'Vere

     "That's nothing like what I do. Let it fill me? I have to reach out and take hold of saidin. Sometimes there's still nothing there when I do, nothing I can touch, but if I didn't reach for it, I could stand there forever and nothing would happen. It fills me all right, once I take hold, but surrender to it? Egwene, if I surrendered - even for one minute - Saidin would consume me. It's like a river of molten metal, an ocean of fire, all the light of the sun gathered in one spot. I must fight it to make it do what I want, fight it to keep from being eaten up."

     Why was it women could go to pieces or fly into rage at the smallest thing, yet never flicker an eyelash at what left you gaping?

8, Hard Heads, 156

     "I just want to know what's going to happen. What comes next? What's in these holes in my memory? There are chunks of my life that aren't even there; they don't exist, as if they never happened! Why do I find myself spouting gibberish? People say it's the Old Tongue, but it's goose babble to me. I want to know, Egwene. I have to know, before I go as crazy as Rand."

Court bard at the Royal Palace of Andor in Caemlyn, Morgase's lover for a time, after Taringail died... a man who, it was said, could play the Game of Houses in his sleep.

He will fight to keep you alive even after the sea has long since given him his deathstroke. Neglect him, though, ignore the small warnings he gives of danger, and he will drown you in a flat sea beneath a cloudless sky."

     "The Old Tongue is often difficult to translate.Tel'aran'rhoid means the World of Dreams, or perhaps the unseen world. Neither is really exact; it is more complex than that. Aan'allien. One Man, but also The Man Who Is an Entire People, and two or three other ways to translate it as well... Warder are called 'Gaidin,' which was 'brothers to battle.' Aes Sedai meant 'servant of all.' And 'Aiel.' 'Dedicated,' in the Old Tongue. And 'Jenn Aiel.' 'The true dedicated'...

     "In this case, the whole truth, the truth known only to Wise Ones and clan chiefs before this, is that you are our doom. Our doom, and our salvation. Without you, no one of our people will live beyond the Last Battle. Perhaps not even until the Last Battle. That is prophecy, and truth. With you... 'He shall spill out the blood of those who call Aiel as water on sand, and he shall break them as dried twigs, yet the remnant of a remnant shall he save, and they shall live.' A hard prophecy, but this has never been a gentle land."

Her hair is spun gold, her eyes blue sapphires. Her skin is smoother than the finest silk, her bosom fine and well-rounded. Her hips are -"

     "How do Aiel fight, Lan?"
     "Hard. They never lose concentration. Look here. Aiel change tactics according to circumstances, but here is one they favor. They move in a column, divided into quarters. When they meet an enemy, the first qurter rushes in to pin them. The second and third sweep wide to either side, hitting the flanks and rear. The last quarter waits in reserve, often not even watching the battle, except for their leader. When a weakness opens - a hole, anything - the reserve strikes there. Finish!"

     "Facing Moghedian is difficult, and not only because she is Forsaken. She hides and takes no risks. She attacks only where she sees weakness, and moves only in shadows. If she fears defeat, she will run; she is not one to fight to the last, even when doing so has a chance of victory. A chance is not enough for Moghedian. But do not take her lightly. She is a serpent coiled in high grass, waiting her own moment to strike, with less compassion than the snake. Especially here do not take her lightly. Lanfear always claimed Tel'aran'rhoid for her own, but Moghedian could do things here far beyond Lanfear, though she has not Lanfear's strength in the world of flesh. I think she would not take the risk of confronting Lanfear."

     "You Chosen gave your souls to the Dark One. You let him attach himself to you. I cut him off from the Dark One, Lanfear. I cut him off! He is still the same man who gave himself to the shadow in the first place. You told me how little you Chosen trust one another. How long could he keep it a secret? How many of you would believe he didn't do it himself somehow? I am glad you thought it possible; maybe the rest of you as well. You gave me the whole idea, Lanfear. A man to teach me how to control the Power. But I won't be taught by a man linked to the Dark One. Now I don't have to be. He may be the same man, but he doesn't have much choice, does he? He can stay and teach me, hope I win, help me win, or he can hope the rest of you don't take the excuse to turn on him. Which do you think he'll choose?"
