Bashere motioned, and one of the younger Saldaeans loped ahead in that rolling stride of a man more used to a saddle. “A man must know when to retreat from a woman,” Bashere said to the air, “but a wise man knows that sometimes he must stand and face her.” “Young men,” Bael said indulgently. “A young man chases shadows and runs from moonlight, and in the end he stabs himself in the foot with his own spear.” Some of the other Aiel chuckled, Maidens and Knife Hands alike. The older ones did. Irritated, Rand looked over his shoulder again. “Neither of you would look well in a dress.” Surprisingly, the Maidens and Knife Hands laughed again, more loudly.

The Light’s mercy fades to nothing for a man who can channel. Some see that and believe the Light denies those men. I do not. Have you begun to hear voices, yet?” “What do you mean?” he asked slowly. He could feel Lews Therin listening. [...] “Some men who can channel begin to hear voices.” She spoke almost absently, frowning at the flattened sphere of silver and gold. “It is a part of the madness. Voices conversing with them, telling them what to do.” The teapot drifted gently to the floor by her feet. “Have you heard any?” [...] “I will ask the questions,” Rand said firmly. “You seem to forget. I am the Dragon Reborn.” You are real, aren’t you? he wondered. There was no answer. Lews Therin? Sometimes the man did not answer, but Aes Sedai always drew him. Lews Therin? He was not mad; the voice was real, not imagination. Not madness. A sudden desire to laugh did not help. Cadsuane sighed. “You are a young man who has little idea where he is going or why, or what lies ahead. You seem overwrought. Perhaps we can speak when you are more settled. Have you any objection to my taking Merana and Annoura away for a little while? I’ve seen neither in quite some time.” Rand gaped at her. She swooped in, insulted him, threatened him, casually announced she knew about the voice in his head, and with that she wanted to leave and talk with Merana and Annoura? Is she mad? Still no answer from Lews Therin. The man was real. He was! “Go away,” he said. “Go away, and...” He was not mad. “All of you, get out! Get out!” [...] Finally they were all gone, and he was alone. Alone. Convulsively he hurled the Dragon Scepter. The spear-point stuck quivering in the back of one the chairs, the tassels swaying. “I am not mad,” he said to the empty room. Lews Therin had told him things; he would never have escaped Galina’s chest without the dead man’s voice. But he had used the Power before he ever heard the voice; he had figured out how to call lightning and hurl fire and form a construct that had killed hundreds of Trollocs. But then, maybe that had been Lews Therin, like those memories of climbing trees in a plum orchard, and entering the Hall of the Servants, and a dozen more that crept up on him unawares. And maybe those memories were all fancies, mad dreams of a mad mind, just like the voice.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Robert Jordan" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/robert-jordan/the-woman-cadsuane-looked-at-the-battered-tea-things-as-if-she-had/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/25a/robert-jordan-438_climbing-trees_the-woman-cadsuane-looked-at-the-battere_1228027.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/25a/robert-jordan-438_climbing-trees_the-woman-cadsuane-looked-at-the-battere_1228027.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/25a/robert-jordan-438_climbing-trees_the-woman-cadsuane-looked-at-the-battere_1228027.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The woman [Cadsuane] looked at the battered tea things as if she had all the time in the world. “Now you…” — Robert Jordan", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“The young man who stood there was the handsomest mad Rand had ever seen, almost too handsome for masculinity.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Robert Jordan" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/robert-jordan/the-young-man-who-stood-there-was-the-handsomest-mad-rand-had-ever/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/de6/robert-jordan-438_description_the-young-man-who-stood-there-was-the-ha_1297852.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/de6/robert-jordan-438_description_the-young-man-who-stood-there-was-the-ha_1297852.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/de6/robert-jordan-438_description_the-young-man-who-stood-there-was-the-ha_1297852.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The young man who stood there was the handsomest mad Rand had ever seen, almost too handsome for masculinity.” — Robert Jordan", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "Young men and fools sometimes bear pain they do not have to as a badge of their pride.

Warmth. He hesitated, then turned weary eyes toward the sky. Sunlight bathed his face. He gaped; it seemed so long since he’d seen pure sunlight. It shone down through a large break in the clouds, comforting, like the warmth of an oven baking a loaf of Adrinne’s thick sourdough bread. Almen stood, raising a hand to shade his eyes. He took a deep, long breath, and smelled… apple blossoms? He spun with a start. The apple trees were flowering. That was plain ridiculous. He rubbed his eyes, but that didn’t dispel the image. They were blooming, all of them, white flowers breaking out between the leaves. [...] What was happening? Apple trees didn’t blossom twice. Was he going mad? Footsteps sounded softly on the path that ran past the orchard. Almen spun to find a tall young man walking down out of the foothills. He had deep red hair and he wore ragged clothing: a brown cloak with loose sleeves and a simple white linen shirt beneath. The trousers were finer, black with a delicate embroidery of gold at the cuff. “Ho, stranger,” Almen said, raising a hand, not knowing what else to say, not even sure if he’d seen what he thought he’d seen. “Did you… did you get lost up in the foothills?” The man stopped, turning sharply. He seemed surprised to find Almen there. With a start, Almen realized the man’s left arm ended in a stump. The stranger looked about, then breathed in deeply. “No. I’m not lost. Finally.
