You will do well.

I always liked that line.

Moiraine: Rand your on your own. Lanfear, he's yours

 

I'm telling you it was in the book

I always wondered how those two would have worked out.

Also, What was her connection again to the Lews Therin? My memory is hazy on this.

Lanfear and Lews Therin were lovers as college-age kids, but Lanfear (Mierin) was too power-hungry so Lews Therin left her for Ilyena. Later, Mierin turned to the Dark and became Lanfear, and always thought she could win Lews Therin back from Ilyena, who she thought had "stolen" him from her. Even Lews Therin being reincarnated as Rand didn't stop her wanting him.

*contributes helpfully* I still love Lanfear.

[Vertex 23]

This is kinda off topic...and I'm sure it's been picked up before. Or maybe it's so obvious that everyone ignores it?

 

But why add a character named Lanfear when you already have a Lan?

[Kaitlin 22]

I don't know. She could have had a better name.

[Ekho 52]

All the forsaken could have had better names, graendal being a key example

[Kaitlin 22]

I always called her "Graenny" in my head, which made for a disturbing mental image of some little old lady.

Lanfear is a wicked-cool name in my mind. Easily the best out of the forsaken.

from TDR:

 

"You want me to share a lifetime of knowledge with you in a single afternoon?"

[Deadsy 19]

This is my favorite quote about Moiraine.

 

"You look like that . . . fish . . . Moiraine caught in the river." -Aviendha, in Fires of Heaven

 

 

Not only did Moiraine show off to Perrin in TDR when she caught those fish (and pretended like it was completely new to her, even though she caught them before with Siuan), she showed off again when they all left the Waste. Aviendha has seen her do it.

[Olivia 26]

Some more Moiraine love.

 

The woman could manipulate a bull through a mousehole without ever letting it know.

- Rand about Moiraine, TSR

 

"I have no time for tears."

- Moiraine to Egwene, TFoH

 

"'Take what you want, and pay for it.'"

- Moiraine repeating a Cairhienin saying, TFoH

 

"Cool reason is always better than hot words."

- Moiraine, TFoH

 

She had never found that humility served very well in any situation. Siuan claimed that growing up in the Sun Palace had put arrogance deeply into Moiraine's bones, where she could not even see it - something she firmly denied.

- Moiraine's thoughts, TFoH

As of now the quotes are pulled for the random quote block on the front page, but it occurs to me that mayhap a page listing all the Moiraine quotes would be a nice addition? Maybe?

I've always wanted to make a document that has every quote and every mention ever made about her, so there would be stuff from books 6-12 as well. I have all of the books on my computer so it wouldn't be too difficult. I'm not doing New Spring though
