I will make you a gift and you will take it if I have to chain it around your neck.
     -Lan Mandragoran, to Nynaeve al'Meara

I will hate the man you choose because he is not me, and love him if he makes you smile.

     -Lini

At my age, if I make it up, it is still an old saying.

     -Loial

He's human, so it could mean anything.

Taking responsibility takes all the joy out of life, and drains a man to dust.
     -Mat Cauthon

I seem to have luck with dice.
     -Mat Cauthon

Blood and bloody ashes!
     -Mat Cauthon

Dance well with a woman and she's halfway yours.
     -Mat Cauthon

I have no intention of marrying. And I have no intention of dying, either, whether I am supposed to live again or not...
     -Mat Cauthon

Nothing like a little dance with Trollocs to ready you for sleep. Right, Aviendha?

     -Mat Cauthon

Never kiss a girl whose brothers have knife scars.
     -Mat Cauthon

Luck is a horse to ride like any other.
     -Mat Cauthon

We are going to tickle some Aes Sedai under the chin, rescue a mule, and put a snip-nosed girl on the Lion Throne. Oh, yes. That's Aviendha. Don't look at her cross-wise or she'll try to cut your throat and probably slit her own by mistake.
     -Mat Cauthon

A thousand years of sheep!
     -Mat Cauthon

I came to bloody rescue you. Burn me if I expected to be treated as if I'd come to steal a pie.
     -Mat Cauthon

It's good to be lucky.
     -Mat Cauthon

I'll bet there's treasure inside.
     -Mat Cauthon

Both of them? Light! Two! Oh, burn me! He's the luckiest man in the world or the biggest fool since creation!
     -Mat Cauthon, regarding Rhuarc's wives

That woman has more hands than any six women I ever met.
     -Mat Cauthon, speaking of Queen Tylin Quintara

Are you deaf as well as blind, woman? I'm not a carpet to walk over and I distinctly heard myself speak. If I pinch your bottom, you can slap my face, but until I do, I expect a civil word for a civil word!
     -Mat Cauthon, to Berelain sur Paendrag

When the poor blind fool they've chosen out for their Amyrlin gets here, I will do the talking. She can't be very bright, or they'd never have been able to shove her into the job.

Victors write history.

Fall in love with a man, and you end up doing laundry, even if it does belong to another man.
     -Min Farshaw

The Pattern has a great deal to answer for. I don't think any man is worth this.
     -Min Farshaw

Men! Too blind to see what a stone could see, and too stubborn to be trusted to think for themselves.
     -Min Farshaw

I want to get drunk as a drowned mouse, and fast!
     -Min Farshaw

I shall have to see. I do not know how well I could compete against a gleeman.

Burn me! I'm a bloody blacksmith.
     -Perrin Aybara

Nobody tells us how to be men. We just are.
     -Perrin Aybara

It's all sort of complicated, but it just happened. Nothing to do with ta'veren.
     -Perrin Aybara

All we met were Tinkers and some Whitecloaks. On the whole, singing with the Tinkers was more fun than the Whitecloaks.
     -Perrin Aybara

A Warder once told me Trollocs call the Aiel Waste 'the Dying Ground.' I mean to make them give that name to the Two Rivers.

I was thinking. Sometimes I think too much.
     -Rand al'Thor

I have heard it said that you should believe nothing you hear, and only half of what you see.

What kind of need would be great enough that we'd want the Dragon to save us from it? As well ask for help from the Dark One.
     -Rand al'Thor

If a sword had memory, it might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.
     -Rand Al'Thor

I will ask one more time. What do you want? Answer, or leave. By the door or a window; your choice
     -Rand al'Thor

Come against me, if you dare! I am the storm! Come if you dare, Shai'tan! I am the Dragon Reborn!

I'm not Aiel, Lord Barthanes, and I'm not of the royal line, either.

Perrin had such a serene marriage, with a smiling, gentle wife
     -Rand al'Thor

I trust you like a brother. Until the day you betray me.
     -Rand al'Thor

All women are Aes Sedai.
     -Rand al'Thor

That is always important, Mat, who stays alive. It's like dice. You can't win if you can't play, and you can't play if you're dead.
     -Rand al'Thor

Trust was a knife, and the hilt was as sharp as the blade.
     -Rand al'Thor

If I could find a way to escape my destiny, do I deserve to?

The light shine on you, Lord Ingtar of House Shinowa, and may you shelter in the palm of the Creator's hand. The last embrace of the Mother welcome you home.
     -Rand al'Thor, at Ingtar's Last Stand

Maybe having the Wisdom show up is no great affair to you, but I'd as soon have the Whitecloaks here, myself.
     -Rand al'Thor, referring to Nynaeve al'Meara

Tell him, no truce with the Forsaken. No truce with the Shadow.
     -Rand al'Thor, speaking of Sammael

Play 'March of Death'. Play it, unless you know a sadder song. Play something to make your soul weep. If you have one still.

I told you to make weapons, Taim. Show me just how deadly they are. Disperse the Shaido. Break them.

Does 'Daughter of the Nine Moons' mean anything to you?

Yes. It means your daughter has nine asses.
     -Uncle Jeff

How many more books (not counting Winter's Heart) will it take to finish WoT?
