  28. The truth an aes sedai tells is never the truth you think it is

  56. And when Rand needs me in Illian, I will be there, and I will see that it is he who presents the Horn to the Council of Nine and the Assemblage. I will see to everything in Illian... the Illianers sounds follow the Dragon, or Ba'alzamon himself, if he can't bearing the Horn of Valere.. the true Dragon Reborn will not to gather a following before nations move against him.

  79. Verin helped Moiraine with sweetcakes
  80. Now you are almost a pretty enough boy to make me wish I was a Green. Almost. - Leane.

  111. If your own power is not schooled, you will never be able to use it against me
  112. I like how Nynaeve could be Rand's guardian.. yes Moiraine and others may be using him in the context of prophecy but she's watching out for his back after prophecy happens
  113. She did not think it would be wise to put it to Nyn in quite that way
  114. So why can't he have sense enough to speak up?

  131. Black and white yin yang sign was aes sedai? Before breaking of the world
  132. Go to Aryth Ocean. Plenty of trade between Tarabon and Arad Doman. Falme's the largest and not big. Small towns on Toman Head are free states 
  133. Listen to his advice, don't mind his tongue, and you will do alright with Uno.
  134. Masema fought against the Aiel in the Eastern Marshes.. can't get Rand's look of Aiel out of his head
  135. No he has the look. 
  136. If you have a sword and the Aielman has his bare hands, it is an even fight. If you're good. Aiel divide the world in two. Aiel, and enemies. Except for Cairhien, Ogier, travelling people

  163. A woman had been standing over him,  looking down
  164. Seven steps rising from blue to red, one for each Ajah
  165. From Stone to Stone run the lines of "if", between the worlds that might be. If a woman go left or right,  does Time's flow divide? Does the Wheel then weave two Patterns? A thousand, for each of her turnings? As many as the stars? Is one real,  the others merely shadows and reflections?

  167. The void surrounded him with an uneasy glow 
  168. Hurin - if you can't take her my body, you'll let her know, so she has that, at least

  170. He thinks you'll see him home now..because Shienaran lords always keep their word

  172. If this is a world that could be, maybe the monument to Artur Hawkwing is still standing

  190. Selene - suspiciously calm. Asks Rand to let her touch the Horn
  191. Not from this world
  192. Some men choose to seek greatness, while others are forced to it. It is always better to be choose than to be forced. A man who's forced is never completely his own master. He must dance on the strings of those who forced him
