Quotes

"'I remember times we were outnumbered, with enemies on every side, and he danced the Band around them. Not to slip away, mind, but to beat them. Beautiful battles.' - 'A beautiful battle is one you don't have to fight,' Mat said, more sharply than he intended. He did not like battles. You could get holes poked in you in a battle. He just kept getting caught in them, that was all. Most of that dancing around had been trying to slip away." (Mandevwin to Teslyn and Mat's comment; Knife of Dreams, Chapter 27)
