Quotes

"Last night, Tamra Ospenya, the Watcher of the Seals, the Flame of Tar Valon, the Amyrlin Seat, died in her sleep. May the Light shine on her soul." Ryma about Tamra's death (New Spring, Chapter 14).

"She was crying because she's beginning to stop fighting against it, because she cannot take being punished anymore. She was crying because she wants to take her own life, and she cannot even do that without permission." Egwene to Min about Ryma (The Great Hunt, Chapter 42).

"Please. Pura has learned to obey. Pura speaks only the truth. Please do not punish Pura." Ryma to Suroth (The Shadow Rising, Chapter 1).

"He had not really believed Teslyn when she said the woman had become a true damane, but the greying sul'dam leaned low in her saddle to say something to the woman who had been Ryma Galfrey, and whatever it was the sul'dam murmured, Pura laughed and clapped her hands in delight." Mat about Ryma (Winter's Heart, Chapter 28).
