Quotes

Berana, face a mask of haughtiness and big brown eyes as cold as the snow, paused to offer cool courtesies to Egwene and frown at Akarrin. (Crossroads of Twilight, Chapter 19)

Dealing with the Asha'man was sure to inflame passions, and anything except cold logic would surely lead to disaster on the spot. (Berana; Crossroads of Twilight, Chapter 20)
