Come on everyone;

 

"Blood and Bloody Ashes!" the great quote by Mat Cauthon.

This is probably my favorite. It is really powerful and it gives me chills.

 

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

I also really like this one:

[Guest Majsju]

Men often mistake revenge and killing for justice. They seldom have the stomach for justice.

 

Nynaeve

[Lews Therin Telamon]

One of my favourites is when Rand is battling the Seanchan and he uses Callandor.

 

"You would strike at me? I am the Dragon Reborn!"

 

and at the same time LTT screams

 

"You cannot defeat me! I am the Lord of the Morning!"

[Narg]

[Ishydin]

there's a very lengthy list at wotmania that has a lot of the good ones.

 

Last time I saw a thread like this, the general conses was that the single greatest quote in the entire series is:

 

 

I would not mind you in my head, if you were not so clearly mad.

-Lews Therin Telamon

[Thorum]

Haven't seen a thread like that, but that's a wonderful quote. Sums it all up, really.

[Darkloki]

Doviande se tovya sagain - "Time to roll the dice" is by far my favorite quote in the book, but I also love Jak o the Shadows, always being sung around Mat, the whole song it self, if I ever decided to take the time and go line per line, book per book to find all the lines lol

[Mercer]

"How do you know when a woman is trying to kill you?"

-- Rand

 

"When she wants to know your name"

--Lord Dobraine

hahaha I forgot about that one. Hilarious.

[V1zharan]

Ok, I play D&D, and I am going to be using a necromancer...there is one quote I just LOVE cause it fits so well, I can't remember the whole thing, it starts with "Tia mi aven Moridin", it is what is written on the Horn of Valere. The grave is no bar to my call. I just love that, the Lews Therin quote IS hands down the best quote in WoT. Can someone find the inscription on the Horn of Valere for me? It's in the back of a couple of the books between 2 and 5 I think.

Re-reading TFoH today and came across the "Sleep well and wake." I have always loved

 

Only an Aiel would wish you a good night by hoping you don't die in your sleep. (paraphrased)

[DemandredFO]

Some of my favorite Quotes, these are all away messages

 

Thus is our treaty written; thus is agreement made.

Thought is the arrow of time; memory never fades.

What was asked is given. The price is paid.'

 

Many people are fools once you get to know them.

 

Salim Wormrider, this is from Dune: The Machine Crusade but I could see Mat saying this

 

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

[V1zharan]

Ok, I found the quote, it's in the back of The Great Hunt. Tia mi aven Moridin isainde vadin.

I just remembered another funny quote by Bashere to an aiel, Bael, late in the prologue of CoT.

"Then I have better to do with my day than watch wetlanders dig holes." Bael replied. "May you always find water and shade, Davram Bashere."

"At the moment, I'd rather have dry feet and a warm fire. Bashere muttered without thinking,"
