NO!! You can't just say "perchance"!!!

"A woman knows some things –a few– that will happen; others she will not recognize until the decision is upon her, if then. Life is uncertainty and struggle, choice and change; one who knew how her life was woven into the Pattern as well as she knew how a thread was laid into a carpet would have the life of an animal. If she did not go mad. Humankind is made for uncertainty, struggle, choice and change"

—Robert Jordan, The Shadow Rising, chapter 23: Beyond the Stone

I still can't believe his name is just Alan.

"From Stone to Stone run the lines of 'if', between the worlds that might be."

Is this good sir gonna introduce alternative realities in fucking book 2? I mean he was a physicist, but god damn.

"'Ila was giving me advice on being a woman', Egwene replied absently. He began laughing, and she gave him a hooded, dangerous look that he failed to see.

'Advice! Nobody teaches us how to be men. We just are'

'That', Egwene said, 'is probably why you make such a bad job of it'."

—Robert Jordan, The Eye Of The World, chapter 27: Shelter from the storm

"My love is gone, carried away

by the wind that shakes the willow,

and all the land is beaten hard

by the wind that shakes the willow.

But i will hold her close to me

in heart and dearest memory,

and with her strength to steel my soul,

her love to warm my heart-strings,

I will stand where once we sang,

though cold wind shakes the willow."

—Robert Jordan, The Eye Of The World, chapter 17: Watchers and Hunters.

"Either way, though, almost every man wanted to be one of the party. [...] The Light save me from men who think with the hair on their chests. Though i don't know as there are any other kind"

[kaladsphantom]

""A person", she said. "I like thinking like that. Being like that. A lot of the other honorspren, they talk about what we were made to be, what we must do. I talked like that once. I was wrong."

"A lot of humans are the same," he said, leaning down so he was eye level with her. "I guess we both need to remember that whatever's happening in our heads, whatever it is that created us, we get to choose. That's what makes us people, Syl.""

"Wit dropped his bloody handkerchief before Ruthar. "How remarkable," he said. "If you spend your life knocking people down, you eventually find they won't stand up for you. There's poetry in that, don't you think, you storming personification of a cancerous anal discharge?""

Autism gang?

"Szeth laid waste to the red-eyed soldiers, who kept coming, showing no fear. Screaming, as if they thirsted for death.

It was a drink that Szeth was all too good at serving."

—Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer, chapter 118: The Weight Of It All.

Oathbringer theory:

Reading chapter 109: neshua kadal, i thought of something. Venli is clearly displeased with Odium's treatement of her and (possibly) her people. She is also distrustful of the Fused. When she sees Dalinar opposing Odium in the vision, does she see an opportunity?

Will there be a coalition of humans and listeners to fight Odium and the Fused? If this happens i'm gonna lose my shit

""Kind of hard to compete with that," Adolin noted.

"Mmm," Pattern said.

"You know, I've never really felt like this before? It's not just Kaladin, it's all of this. And what's happening to us." He shook his head. "We certainly are an odd bunch."

"Yes. Seven people. Odd.""

—Brandon Sanderson, Oathbreaker, chapter 108: Honor's Path.

"As I lack the experience to decide the worth of a life, I sincerely doubt she has somehow obtained it. You tried to help the people of the market. You mostly failed. This is life. The longer you live, the more you fail. Failure is the mark of a life well lived. In turn, the only way to live without failure is to be of no use to anyone. Trust me, I've practiced."

—Brandon Sanderson, Oathbreaker, chapter 82: The Girl Who Stood Up

""It's not the same," Skar said.

"It's feminine," Drehy added.

"Drehy," Kaladin added, "you are literally courting a man".

"So?" Drehy said.

"Yeah, what are you saying, Kal?" Skar snapped.

"Nothing! I just thought Drehy might emphatize..."

"That's hardly fair," Drehy said.

"Yeah," Lopen said. "Drehy likes other guys. That's like... he wants to be even less around women than the rest of us. It's the opposite of feminine. He is, you could say, extra manly."

"Yeah," Drehy said."
