The Fires of Heaven (Wheel of Time, #5)

by Robert Jordan

Only a battle lost is sadder than a battle won.

Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.

A pebble in your shoe was small compared to having your head cut off, but if the pebble was there and the chopping block might never be. . . .

“An open sack hides nothing, and an open door hides little, but an open man is surely hiding something.”

“Wish” and “want” trip the feet, but “is” makes the path smoother.

“The Creator made women to please the eye and trouble the mind.”
