They have caged shadowkiller he thought at last. That was what the Wolves called Rand, but he had no idea if they concidered Rand important.

 

The shock that filled his mind was answer enough, but howls filled night, near and far; howls filled with anger and fear. In the camp horse whinnied fearfully, stamping their hooves as they shied the picket ropes. Men rand to calm them, and looked into the darkness as if expecting a huge pack to come after the mounts.

 

We come Half Tail replied at last. Only that, and then others answered. Packs Perrin had not spoken too, who had listened in silence to the two legs that could talk. We come.

 

Not a quote really, but that passage always gave me the shivers.

[chuckievi]

just gave them to me as i read it.

[I Am The Storm]

SinsterDeath's signature is easily the greatest quote i've noticed so far. I was going to use it as my signature when I joined, but saw he already had it, and wanted to be orginal.

[SinisterDeath]

Dun worry, when book 12 comes out, and I find an equally better quote I'll use that. :P

[Mesaana]

I have alway loved this one.. (from COT)

 

"Some women," Dyelin murmered into her wine, "can make a fish bite by crooking a finger, Lady Birgitte. other women have to drag their bait all over the pond."

 

That one always makes me laugh and I know a few people it could be applied to!

[Ciete]

LOL @ Messana. That is a damn good one.

 

Both Bashere and Mat use this quote...I love it:

 

"What you gain on the swings, you lose on the roundabouts". My life in a nutshell :lol:

[goldeneys]

“Tinkers.†Hari’s mouth twisted scornfully. “What do we want with a bunch of thieving Tinkers? Take everything that isn’t nailed down.â€

 

Darl open his mouth, to support Hari no doubt, but before he could speak someone in the crowd shouted, “So do you, Hari! And you’ll take the nails, too!†Sparse laughter snapped Darl’s jaws shut.

 

hehe, I think we could all name one or two ppl like the Congars.

[strider1276]

I rather like Doviande se tovya sagain - "Time to roll the dice" - the motto of the Band of the Red Hand.

Possibly my favorite Mat quote of all time:

 

Sene sovya caba'donde ain dovienya.

For pure entertainment value, Brigitte to Mat:

Well, I finished rereading the Shadow Rising the other day, and this at the end...after defeating the trollocs at Emonds Field:

 

Perrin bent to ruffle the boy’s curly hair. “What’s your name, lad?â€

 

“Jaim Aybara, Lord Perrin. I’m your cousin, I think. Sort of, anyway.â€

 

Perrin squeezed his eyes shut for a moment to keep the tears in. Even when he opened them his hand still trembled on the lad’s head. “Well, Cousin Jaim, you tell your children about today. You tell your grandchildren, your grandchildren’s children.â€

 

“I’m not going to have any,†Jaim said stoutly. “Girls are horrible. They laugh at you, and they don’t like to do anything worth doing, and you never understand what they’re saying.â€

 

“I think one day you’ll find out they’re the opposite of horrible. Some of it won’t change, but that will.â€...

 

And then comes one of my favorite Perrin quotes (which means one of my favorite quotes of all time as Perrin is my fav char).

 

...You won’t ever come to understand them, Cousin Jaim, but you won’t care.

[Manethral]

Anything Aiel or that Lan says is cool.

 

Lan: "The rose petal floats on water. The kingfisher flashes above the pond. Life and beauty swirl in the midst of death."

 

my favourite Lan/Rand qoute is my signature. damn Lan's cool

[Barnabas]

amen to that, so many touching moments through the seris (yes that is hard to admit for guys:P) i love in far madding on the rooftops with lan and rand

"let go" "when the sun turns green" to me that sums up rand which adds to it
