The Great Hunt

After a longtime, I have completed reading "The Great Hunt" by Robert Jordan. This is the second novel in a 16-parts series named "The Wheel of Time". Enjoy reading the series :-)

The story line is becoming stronger and all the characters in the series are getting equal weightage.

Some of my favorite quotes from The Great Hunt:

“There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet.”- Lan to Rand.

“I do not like odd things until I can understand them.”

“A young wolfhound must meet his first wolf someday, but if the wolf sees him as a puppy, if he acts the puppy, the wolf will surely kill him. The wolfhound must be a wolfhound in the wolf's eyes even more than in his own, if he is to survive.”  - Lan to Rand before meeting Amyrlin Seat.

“A pig painted gold is still a pig.”

“Death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain.”  - Rand

"Mother says a stick and honey always work better than a stick alone." - Elayne
