  • "The stone that never falls will fall to announce his coming. Of the blood, but not raised by the blood, he will come from Rhuidean at dawn, and tie you together with bonds you cannot break. He will take you back, and he will destroy you." - (Aes Sedai at the building of Rhuidean; TSR, Ch. 25)
  • "An Aes Sedai called Gitara Moroso, who had the Foretelling, had told Tigraine that disaster would befall her land and her people, perhaps the world, unless she went to dwell among the Maidens of the Spear, telling no one of her going. She must become a Maiden, and she could not return to her own land until the Maidens had gone to Tar Valon." - (Amys; TSR, Ch. 34)
  • "He is born again!" Gitara cried. "I feel him! The Dragon takes his first breath on the slope of Dragonmount! He is coming! He is coming! Light help us! Light help the world! He lies in the snow and cries like the thunder! He burns like the sun!" - (Gitara Moroso; NS, Ch. 2; TGH, Ch. 8)
  • "The Dark One stirs in Shayol Ghul. The Shadow lies across the Pattern, and the future is balanced on the point of a pin. This one is dangerous. This I Foretell and swear under the Light that I can say no clearer. From this day Andor marches toward pain and division. The Shadow has yet to darken to its blackest, and I cannot see if the Light will come after. Where the world has wept one tear, it will weep thousands. This I Foretell. (continues barely audible) This, too, I Foretell. Pain and division come to the whole world, and this man stands at the heart of it. I obey the Queen and speak it clearly." - (Elaida to Morgase when Rand is brought before her; TEotW, Ch. 40).
  • "The White Tower will be whole again, except for remnants cast out and scorned, whole and stronger than ever. Rand al'Thor will face the Amyrlin Seat and know her anger. The Black Tower will be rent in blood and fire, and sisters will walk its grounds. This I Foretell." - (Elaida; ACoS, Prologue)
  • "Some are the sort of thing anyone in the camp with half a brain and a credulous nature might think of - battles with the Seanchan or the Asha'man, an Amyrlin imprisoned, the Dragon Reborn doing nine impossible things, visions that might be Tarmon Gai'don or a bilious stomach(...)" - (Janya Frende about Nicola's Foretellings; CoT, Ch. 17)
  • "Beware the fox that makes the ravens fly, for he will marry you and carry you away. Beware the man who remembers Hawkwing's face, for he will marry you and set you free. Beware the man of the red hand, for him you will marry and none other." - (Lidya to Tuon; KoD, Ch. 36)
