"I am dead. Only vengeance can restore me ! Only victory can return my life to me!"
"I'm going to cut these off. When I do, I don't want you to make a sound."
"Never let a woman set your path for you, when there is a man in her line of sight."
"Don't shed tears for those already in the ground, until after you have brought vengeance to those who put them there. There will be time enough then."
"But if you ever meet him, don't you dare tell him about this...pretending to be a spirit business. He has rather fussy views about such things. If you told him you let me run around naked with a thousand of your men, he would probably take your head off."
"Love is not about what you want. It's about finding happiness for the one you love."
"Choose, then. With us or not. But choose this day for all time."
"We all can be only who we are, no more, no less."
"If someone is trying to stick a knife in your back, closing your eyes does not make you safe."
"I'm not here to smile and look pretty for the men, General."
"I let them suffer the worst possibility, the results of their own actions."
"History is rarely made by reasonable men."
"Knowledge is a destination. Truth, the journey."
"The worse you are at thinking, the better you are at drinking."
"The mice think they are right, but my cat eats them anyways."
"The elders are becoming concerned. They would like to know when they can have their spirit house back."
"I don't understand. Do you Gentlemen want to do away with me because you think I have magic or is it simply your intention to demean me by calling me a woman?"
"But the council didn't understand: it wasn't the post that brought the power to the person, it was the person that brought the power to the post."
"Who would you be more afraid of: a two-hundred pound man who wants to steal a loaf of bread from you and knows he is doing wrong, or a one-hundred pound woman who believes, wrongly, but believes with all her heart, that you stole her baby?"
"Everything is valuable under the right conditions. To a man dying of thirst, water be more precious than gold. To a drowning man, water be of little worth and great trouble."
"Bah. I be fine. My head be thicker than Cara's."
"You talk like a drunk man walks: in every direction but where he be headed."
"If you get yourself killed trying to rule the world, I will personally break every bone in your body."
"Lord Rahl, I know you like me the best, but stop thinking about my behind as I walk, and write your letter."
"Lord Rahl has very big hands. They fit perfectly over my breasts."
"Be proud you made right choices, Richard, the choices that allowed to happen what came about, but do not call arrogance to your heart by believing that all that happened was your doing."
"Yes there are several out there but i told them you were too busy sweet-talking me to be bothered right now."
"She won't try to make us wear dresses, will she? We'll obey her, but Mord-Sith don't wear dresses."
"Hurry up and torture me before I fall asleep and miss it."
"This man is going to be trouble."
"Mord-Sith -- giggling!"
"Hesitation can be the end of you.....or those you care about."
"Good and evil, the Creator and the Keeper, are chaos divided into two opposing forces. Although each abhors the other, they are interdependent, and cannot exist one without the other. They define each other. The struggle, our struggle in this world, is maintaining the balance."
"You actually read the reports?!?"
"Nathan bought himself a sword today. He is now fighting invisible monsters. He is a one thousand year old child."
"And if we again come across people and you start yelling that you've been abducted by a mad witch and held prisoner in a magic collar, I'll make you deaf and dumb for real!"
"You want to be healed, now? Or would you prefer to bleed to death so I can try my hand at resurrection?"
"Well finally! We did everything but to leave a note pinned to the hem of her dress that said, "Oh by the way, the Prelate and the prophet are still alive, you dolt."
"I look dashing!"
"Thank you for coming, Vincent. Sorry you have to leave now. Let me show you out."
"The greatest harm can result from the best intentions."
"Because I would look dashing with a sword at my hip."
"It does the sheep no good to preach the goodness of a diet of grass, if the wolves are of a different mind."
"In a land of the blind, a one-eyed woman can be queen."
They're just dumb beasts."
"Youth. Youth holds much hope, but not much wisdom. I know the ways of people. Of men. He has been gone too long from my skirts. He will have long ago forgotten me, and found another."
"The Emperor has some unusual tastes"
"Suppose we preached truthfulness, and at the same time gladly handed out a penny for each lie told. What do you venture would be the result?" Phoebe : "I'd venture we'd soon be penniless."
"I am no coward, but I am no heroine in a song, and no fool either." -- Jebra.

"You've met Zedd, then. He's wonderful, isn't he?"
"He tried to kill me,"Jennsen muttered.
"Zedd?" Richard scoffed. "Zedd's harmless."
"Harmless? He--"
The Mord-Sith, Cara, poked at Jennsen with the red rod she had--the Agiel.
"What are you doing?" Jennsen asked. "Stop that."
"That doesn't do anything to you?"
"No." Jennsen said, scowling.
---
"You sure know a lot about magic," Jennsen said to Richard.
Kahlan and Cara laughed so hard that Jennsen thought they might fall of their horses.
"I don't see what's so funny," Richard grumbled.
The two off them laughed all the harder.

I think the Creator is going insane" --Tobias Brogan

"Words can't cut you. Ward only for steel. Fight only steel." -- Wyborn Amnell

"Only a fool walks into the future backward." -- General Trimack

Sister Dulcina : "Men have uncontrollable urges."
Prelate Verna : "So do I, but with the Creator's help I've so far managed not to strangle anyone."
---
"How are you doing, Captain?" Richard grasped the man's elbow.
"What's the matter? Did you fall off your horse, or something?"
The captain glanced at Cara, to his side. "Ah, well, I'm fine, Lord Rahl. Really."
"You look hurt."
"I just had my ribs...tickled by your Mord-Sith, that's all."
"I didn't do it hard enough to break them," Cara scoffed.
---
"Your lucky: I made dinner tonight, instead of Cara." Richard said.
Cara, proud of being a poor cook, smiled as if it were an accomplishment of note.
---
"We're going to a place in the mountains, where other people don't go, so we can be alone, and safe. The Mother Confessor will be able to get well there and gain back her strength. While we're there, I may even make Cara start wearing a dress."
Cara shot to her feet. "What!" When she saw Richard's smile, Cara realized he was only joking. She fumed, nonetheless.
"I'd not report that part of it to the general, were I you, Captain." Richard said.
Cara sank back down on the ground. "Not if Brass Buttons, here, values his ribs," she muttered.
---
"I love you too, Cara." He winked at her. "Take good care of both of you until I'm back."
"I will, Lord Rahl. You have my word as Mord-Sith."
He gave her a crooked smile. "I have your word as Cara."
And then he was gone.
"I love you too, Lord Rahl," Cara whispered to the empty doorway. Kahlan and Cara ran into the main room and stood in the doorway watching him running across the meadow.
Cara cupped her hands around her mouth. "I love you too, Lord Rahl," she shouted.
---
Kahlan drew her face into a peevish scowl. "How old are you, Warren?"
He looked surprised by the question. "I turned one hundred fifty eight not long ago."
"That explains it," Cara griped, starting off down the hill. "Stop looking so young and innocent all the time, Warren. It's just plain irritating."
"There is nothing that exists that has only one side." -- Darken Rahl
"I pity the person who ever puts a finger between those two. They will lose the finger, maybe the whole arm before they have the time to think to pull it back." -- Jebra
"Sister Verna, I sometimes think you could make a sunny day angry with you!" -- Warren
