Best Line from Book One: Eye of the World

[Daegan al'Calder]

"She has a face like a goat."

 

[Kyla Sterling]

Well, I have my Viggo Mortensen.

(He's also my pick for Lan. )

 

[Marivea al'Corriyi]

..I was about to pick up my copy of TEotW to find my favorite quote, then recalled that I have lent the book out. Alas. I think one of my favorite passages is definitely when Moiraine is scolding the Edmond's Fielders by telling the tale of Manetheren. Chills. Every time.

re: speed reading: I read the first eleven books in a month. I read TEotW yesterday, The Great Hunt today, and I'll probably finish The Dragon Reborn tomorrow. I don't think I've ever met anyone who reads as fast as me. And yes, I do retain it, and rather well.

 

[Zalina al' Vyrane]

I retain it, I just miss things. I could probably read it that fast, if I didn't have other things to do.

 

[Seryse ni Cousland]

My favorite line from The Eye of the World? Probably anything with Moiraine. I really adore her. I also live for Nyaneve's POV.

And as far as Lan's face cast goes... Just hear me out for a sec: Mads Mikkelsen. I know, I know. Creepy as hell in NBC's Hannibal. But in the 2004 version of King Arthur?

Spoiler

Not super duper pretty, but I've never seen Lan as super pretty. :P

 

[Zelinea Aldevron]

It is not a line per se, but I always gets chills when Moiraine tells the story of Manetherens fall. Gets me every time.

I totally agree. It's such a powerful moment.

 

[Falone Charpontier]

Well, I'm a hopeless romantic, so I'll go with “I will hate the man you choose because he isn't me, and love him if he makes you smile.”

*edit

I also love the story of Manetheran.

 

[Zelinea Aldevron]

I really think it is the last line.

"The Prophecies will be fulfilled," the Aes Sadai whispered. "The Dragon is Reborn."

That's a great line. It gives me chills whenever I read it!

 

[Zelinea Aldevron]

Well, I'm a hopeless romantic, so I'll go with “I will hate the man you choose because he isn't me, and love him if he makes you smile.”

Oh, I love that one!

 

[Elanda Tonil]

Well, I'm a hopeless romantic, so I'll go with “I will hate the man you choose because he isn't me, and love him if he makes you smile."

I have to agree with Falone & Zelinea on this one. I love this line, it has made me tear up nearly every time I've read it. It shows a maturity that I'm not sure any other character in the books has.

(And Viggo is mine! I put dibs on him ages ago! :tug )

 

[Agor Narsil]

Last liners are always great! I just love Nynaeves dialogue throughout it! Light, how the characters have changed!

 

[Agor Narsil]

:P

 

[Al'Amar El'Haldir]

Nynaeve's conversation with Lan about their relationship was very powerful. But in the end, she put him through the paces

 

[Leala ni al'Dareis t'al'Caleum]

It is not a line per se, but I always gets chills when Moiraine tells the story of Manetherens fall. Gets me every time.

And I also read a bit fast. Which is why I reread, because then I catch things that I missed the first time around

Me too. Every. Time. It's one of those great moments where you're transported even further into a story, and I love it so much!

 

[Juliya Karisu]

Well, I'm a hopeless romantic, so I'll go with “I will hate the man you choose because he isn't me, and love him if he makes you smile.”

Just read this book and this quote ... it kills me every time :cry

But my favourite is when Rand is thinking, near the end.

"Every woman is an Aes Sedai. The Light help me, so am I."
