Quotes

"Learn from it, but do not take it too much to heart. Not even Artur Hawkwing won every battle." (Ihvon to Perrin after the Trolloc ambush; The Shadow Rising, Chapter 41)

"He managed to keep an eye on the door to the street and one on Alanna. A very cautious eye on Alanna. He was more than solicitous of her since Owein, her other Warder, had died in the Two Rivers -- and wisely more than wary of her temper, though she usually managed to control it better than she had today." (Verin about Ihvon; Lord of Chaos, Chapter 11)
