Fires of heaven

Hi, I'm Tim, 22, Australian. This blog is a list of my favorite quotes from the books on my shelf. I'm starting with The Wheel of Time from there I have Thomas Pynchon, K J Parker, Russell Brand, George Orwell, Terry Pratchett, Brandon Sanderson, James Joyce, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and plenty more after that. Hope you enjoy these quotes as much as I do.

"And it was written that no hand but his should wield the Sword held in the Stone, but he did draw it out, like fire in his hand, and his glory did burn the world. Thus did it begin. Thus do we sing his Rebirth. Thus do we sing the beginning."

"Matrim Cauthon,” Nynaeve said, sounding shocked, “what under the Light are you doing here?”
“I came to bloody rescue you,” he said. “Burn me if I expected to be greeted as if I had come to steal a pie. You can tell me why you look as if you’d been fighting bears later, if you want. If Egwene cannot walk, I’ll carry her on my back. There are Aiel all over the stone, or near enough, and either they are killing the bloody Defenders or the bloody Defenders are killing them, but whichever way it is, we had better get out of here while we bloody well can, If we can!"

"The rooftops of Tear were no place for a sensible man to be in the night, Mat decided as he peered into the moon shadows. A little more than fifty paces of broad street, or perhaps narrow plaza, separated the Stone from his tiled roof, itself three stories above the paving stones. But when was I ever sensible? The only people I ever met who were sensible all the time were so boring that watching them could put you to sleep."

"You are here too strongly! Every sending carried shock. You will die, Young Bull!
If I do not free the falcon, I do not care, brother.
Then we hunt, brother.
Noses to the wind, the two wolves ran across the plain, seeking the falcon."

"Are you married to Coline?” Mat asked, and Master Gill gave a start.
“The Light preserve me from that! You would think the inn was hers now. If she was my wife … ! What does that have to do with the Daughter-Heir’s letter?”
“Nothing,” Mat said, “but you went on so long, I thought you must have forgotten your own question.” Gill made a choking sound, and Thom barked a laugh."

Question: why don't you list the character who's talking in your quotes??????? - Anonymous
Answer:
I never thought it was necessary because it’s all coming form the same author and I do list him/her.
