Quotes

"Tiana might show a little kindness to a novice, if only a little; she felt Accepted should know better, and made sure they felt the same long before they left her small cubby-hole of a study." (Nynaeve about Tiana; Lord of Chaos, Prologue).

"Tiana Noselle was the Mistress of Novices, known equally well for a comforting shoulder when a novice needed to cry and an unyielding stance when it came to rules." (Egwene about Tiana; A Crown of Swords, Chapter 9).

"Perhaps you should run to see whether Sharina has any further instructions for you." (Romanda; Knife of Dreams, Chapter 23).
