One of my favourite quotes:

"Maerad, our world is filled with sorrow and evil," he said. "But there is also beauty and light and love. You must remember that." (Riddle, page 181)

I love this quote because, well, to start with, it's very profound, very wise, true in our world as well, typically Cadvan...

Good old Cadvan. there's always a wise one. Most of my favourite quotes are made by Cadvan. :)

pg. 412 of The Gift (The Naming for some of you!)

Cadvan to Maerad:

"By all we have suffered together, by the sworn bond you owe me as your teacher, and by the deeper bond you owe me as your friend I bid you tell me: What has happened to you, Maerad of Pellinor?"

It's at the beginning of the chapter 'old scars', and it gets me so choked up every time! Masterful use of words Alison!

although the other quotes on this thread are good too...

i agree with you emerald dragyn
i love the bit the just precedes that as well

"The blood drained form Cadvans face and his hand fell nervelessly at his side. For a few seconds he was speechless. Then he gazed intently into her eyes and spoke softly in the speech. Il ver umnonor imenval kor, dhor Dhillareare de niker kor...
The words fell gently as rain into Maerad's mind, but she winced as if they bruised her."

Bit long i know , but *shrugs* hey its just too good.
