Quote by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Ninowy

“Hate does not extinguish hate. Darkness does not extinguish darkness. Prejudice does not extinguish prejudice. Negativity does not extinguish negativity. It's only love that extinguishes hate. It's only light that extinguishes darkness. It's only knowledge that extinguishes ignorance.”

Quote by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Ninowy

“In the north, in the Borderlands along the Great Blight, there is a saying. The look of the Eyeless is fear." "The Eyeless?" Rand said, and Lan nodded. "Myrddraal see like eagles, in darkness or in light, but they have no eyes. I can think of few things more dangerous than facing a Myrddraal. Moiraine Sedai and I both tried to kill, the one that was here last night, and we failed every time. Halfmen have the Dark One's own luck.”

“The first wind of winter blew from the north, and it had ice and rime on its breath. It was dirty and sharp and it cut like a razor, and if it touched you, you could wash and wash until your skin was tattered and bloodied, but you'd never be clean again. It scattered them in the night, the quiet ones with death in their eyes. But they left more tentatively than they had come, as if they had seen something unholy inside themselves; something they would never be able to forget. And they left, slowly, one by one, with reluctance, leaving the safety of the light for the chill certainties of the darkness. It seemed like the night sucked them up, took them into its dark heart. It seemed like the darkness swallowed them... Perhaps it did.”
