Day One: Who Said It?

 

This collection of quotes come from various books within the Wheel of Time series. Your task is to come up with who said each quote. As a bonus, I will give you a bonus point if you can also properly guess from which book I took the quote. Good luck!!

 

And don't forget the spoiler code for your guesses! (Refer to the OP for instructions on how to do that.)

1. "We used to dig up bones in the sand hills. Strange bones. There was part of a fish - I think it was a fish - as big as this boat, once. Some said it was bad luck, digging in the hills."
   
2. "You are needed here, Rand al'Thor. Here, Car'a'carn. Does your honor lie with killing this man or here with those you have brought to this land?"
   
3. "A fat lot you know, sheepherder."
   
4. "You could get yourself in deep trouble talking to women that way. Women like a man to be quite, and well-mannered. And reserved. Reserved, and maybe a little shy. Cultivate those qualities, and you'll do well"
   
5. "You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway."
   
6. "It isn't a dream. Oh, Light, you're here. How?"
   
7. "Do not be a complete woolhead."
   
8. "Shut up! Go away! You're dead!"
   
9. "And in all probability hand the Dark One his victory. Remember what - who - it is that he wants. We are in a war, as surely as anyone in Ghealdan, though thousands fight there and only eight of us here."
   
10. "Then it has come again. That memory remains whole. The Dark One stirs. I have feared it. Every turning of years, the Blight strives harder to come inside, and this turn the struggle to keep it out has been greater than ever since the beginning. Come, I will take you."

This is an incomplete collection of quotes from various books in the Wheel of Time. This is your opportunity to get your creativity flowing and rack up points. I have provided the first half of a quote and it's up to you to finish it. It can be funny, clever, witty, etc. I will award them on a sliding scale between 1 and 4 points. So, no matter what, you're guaranteed at least one point for each attempt.

 

These answers do NOT need to be spoiler coded as they shall be different for everyone.

1. "I'm a good Queen's man, like I said, but even fools say something worthwhile now and again. Even a blind pig..."
   
2. "For the last time, I am not playing a trick on you. There is a..."
   
3. "I compliment you on how soft my shirts are, and you snap my head off. And I said you looked cheerful, hardly the opening of a battle, I though. It was a compliment, woman..."

5. "You've certainly been married long enough to know you shouldn't let your husband..."
   
6. "A small lesson for you in the difference between wives and..."
   
7. "She is shielded somehow, I know, but when she can channel again, she will..."
   
8. "Now, Moghedien instructed me to offer you what assistance I thought I could give, but I'll tell you right now, I won't..."
   
9. "It went exactly as I planned it, of course. You are speaking to..."
