I will admit that this blog is mainly for me. I love to read but have a terrible memory for the fine details of what I have read. I wish I could pull a quote out of my head when I need it. Instead, I will blog them. Maybe you will be inspired to pick up one of the books I include in my blog.

The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan

There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet. p.119


     "... The best of men are not much better than housebroken." Nynaeve paused, and added half to herself, "But then, the best of them are worth the trouble of housebreaking." p. 139


     "Some men," she said, not raising her eyes from his hand, "choose to seek greatness, while others are forced to it. It is always better to choose than to be forced. A man who's forced is never completely his own master. He must dance on the strings of those who forced him." p. 256


Lan said the time to sound most sure was when you  were least certain. p. 298


Women often seemed to leave things unsaid, and in his limited experience it was what they did not say that proved the most trouble. p. 298


"Does it surprise you that your life might go differently if you made different choices, or different things happened to you?...." p.533
