The Shadow Rising (The Wheel of Time, #4)

by Robert Jordan

Prophecy is no more than the sign of what people hope for.

Loial well named, for your nature is loyalty. Any woman could love that.”

You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones. Remember

Life is uncertainty and struggle, choice and change; one who knew how her life was woven into the Pattern as well as she knew how a thread was laid into a carpet would have the life of an animal. If she did not go mad. Humankind is made for uncertainty, struggle, choice and change.”
