Hi @ll,

 

I am looking for a quote from The Wheel of time that I remember to be like this "In a land full of cruelty you either learn to laugh at cruelty or you spend your life weeping".

I think it is not an actual quote of a character but it is an extract of a chapter told from Rand's perspective. It it about Aiel humor.

I remember vaguely that it was located in the series at some point shortly after Rand returned from the waste, but I am not so sure about that one.

 

Does anyone remember? I would like to have the exact words and the location in the books :-).

Thanks a lot. The search engine is indeed very handy. I keep complainig about the old fashioned books without fulltext search. At least I do have a solution for teh Wheel of Time now :-). I wonder where the Text came from... All OCR-scanned? ;-).
