I don't know if this topic has been used before or not, but here goes.

 

"I forget nothing, Aes Sedai. I said six could come, but I count nine. I said you would be on equal footing with the Tower emissaries, and for bringing nine, you will be. They are on their knees, Aes Sedai. Kneel!"

 

I don't know about anyone else, but I love to see the high and mighty get put in their place. :twisted:

 

Please post your favorite quote!

"Tonight you will eat fish. Tomorrow you may die"

 

 

"You will know what I tell you and no more!"

"And what will you tell me?" Zarine Demanded

The Aes Sedai smiled, "Eat Your fish"

I don't know about anyone else, but I love to see the high and mighty get put in their place. :twisted:

 

You mean Majsju?

 

Hum... there's just SO MANY. Ah, well.

 

Kneel, or you will be knelt.

 

Another example of, even though Rand hates them, Taim and Logain are awesome beyond all belief... I liked Taim at this point. It'd be an insane twist if he turned out good (as in Not Dark) and Logain is pure evil. And yes, another example of the high and mighty getting a proverbial slap in the face.

 

Bad habits pay off in the long run.

 

Indeed they do.

 

Oh, Hyena, my dear Hyena...

 

That's a misprint (repeated many a time) in my friend's downloaded version of KoD.

Watch it, young one...

Don't have my book so this "quote" might actually be a paraphrase, but I remember the chill I got the first time I read Moiraine's line at the end of EOTW as she stares at her blue listening stone...

 

"The Dragon has been reborn."

This is on wotmania and made me laugh the first time I saw it. There is a list of quotes there, the link is http://wotmania.com/quotelist.asp.

 

Anyway, my personal favorite quote is probably:

 

"Do you have any idea how long it takes to dig" graves for twenty-three oak trees?

-Davram Bashere

[loki redfern]

my two favorite

"as surely as peaches are poison" siuan i think

 

"blood and bloody ashes" mat at some time or another

 

 

found these on the link above, but there were a couple other good one too

 

One pretty woman means fun at the dance. Two pretty women mean trouble in the house. Three pretty women mean run for the hills.

-Abel Cauthon

 

Mat won't corrupt Beslan. I doubt nine feather dancers with a shipload of brandy could corrupt him. They wouldn't know where to begin.

-Birgitte

 

That woman has more hands than any six women I ever met.

-Mat Cauthon, speaking of Queen Tylin Quintara

"I destroyed the world and you can too' date=' if you try hard."

LTT, sorry if it is not perfect, I do not have my books handy.[/quote']

 

Yeah LTT has some of the best quotes in the series.

 

My personal favorites are when he and Rand argue about when they get to die.

[Samitsu]

"Theres a Madman in my head" - Lews Therin Telamon

 

That one just made me laugh like hell

[krystalline]

"That face would make a herd of goats faint." - Avienda to Min on Rands disguise in the Royal Palace, WH.

[Merkeva]

"Halt in the name of the Lord Dragon,or else he'll channel your head into yer belly and feed you your feet for breakfast"- Mat

[Graendals favourite]

"Worry over being caught in a tangle of roses, even if the thorns might kill you eventually, was a luxury when you had a knife point pressed to your ribs." -Yukiri thought, CoT.

 

"I can be as hard as I must, he thought, stroking his sword hilt. For him, I can." -Rand thought, FoH.

 

"When he was not actually handling the balls, his hand rested under his coat." -Mat description, EotW.

[gaishain]

"He is born again! I feel him! The Dragon takes his first breath on the slopes of Dragonmount! He is coming! He is coming! Light help us! Light help the world! He lies in the snow and cries like thunder! He burns like the sun!" -Gitara Morso

 

This one is probably my favorite... it seriously gives me goose bumps. I also like:

 

"Sooner or later there's always troubel when two humans get together" -Elyas Machera

 

So true so true. heh.

 

"The rose petal floats on the water, the king fisher flashes above the pond. Life swirls in the midst of death" - Lan Mandragoran

 

I just think that is pretty.

 

Plus obviously the quotes I have as my signature. hehe.

 

Oh and just about any thing that LTT says. He is probably one of the most hilarious characters in the book.

"That's a misprint (repeated many a time) in my friend's downloaded version of KoD." - Featherless Hawkwing

 

Who with the what now? Downloaded version? Is that a version they purchased or pirated off the web? Because if it was pirated I hope you gave them a solid dressing down.

 

One of my favourite quotes is from KOD.

 

"That killed the goat."

 

I also love,

 

"I am the Dragon Reborn," he whispered at the walls sometimes, and sometimes shouted at them. "I am the Dragon Reborn!" Silently and aloud he raged at those who would oppose him, the blind fools who could not see and those who refused to see, for ambition or avarice or fear. He was the Dragon Reborn, the only hope of the world against the Dark One. And the Light help the world for it.

[MsDanya]

"Rand made Perrin at his most suspicious look like a child skipping in a meadow"

 

i likethat one.. dont know why, jsut do.

[vikingdriver]

Pretty much any of Mat's expletives work for me

[schneb]

Can't remember specific quotes, but I liked the times when Elayne was trying out her swear words. She seemed so naughty.

[Kepen heal]

I have kept all the good quotes while reading the series and keep finding more each time i reread the series. I also keep track of the old tongue too.

 

Well i like these:

"It's always a mans fault." Perrin t'Ayabar

 

Im am a guy put my mom loves this one

"Men teach cats curiosity, but cats keep sense for them selves." Mat Cauton

 

"Eagles and women can oly be kept safe in cages."Lewis Therin Telmon in Rands head

 

"The pike does not ask the frog before dining."Lini

 

"Don't watch the wolf so much, that a mouse bites you." Nynave al'Mear

[Bidne Gaidin]

Almost every saying out of Mat's mouth (or his thinking), makes me smile or laugh :)

[joeybsmash]

i like the quotes where mat, rand, or perrin think to themselves that they will never understand women and maybe one of the others could help him. then the next chapter has the aforementioned friend thinking the same thing.

[Inara]

'mother's milk in a cup!!!'

 

does anyone know what that Means?

 

also, lini as some of the best:

'take what you want and pay for it'

i live by this one

[wtfv]

That one from Elyas, on book 1, about killing warders, it's hilarious... I'll try to find it and post here.

[wtfv]

"I had to kill a couple of warders. Bad business, that, killing warders. Don't like it." - Elyas, TEotW, Wolfbrother p.345
