“The men in my family are strong because the women in my family kill and eat the weak ones.”

“I grew up around strong women; weak men were pickled and salted. The women wouldn't waste time raising a weak boy.”

“Any fool knows men and women think differently at times, but the biggest difference is this. Men forget, but never forgive; women forgive, but never forget.”

“But men often mistake killing and revenge for justice. They seldom have the stomach for justice.”

“My mother says men are different from us. She says we want to be in love, but only with the one we want; a man needs to be in love, but he will love the first woman to tie a string to his heart. - Egwene, speaking to Elayne”

“I'll never forget the first time Davram took me by the scruff of my neck and showed me he was the stronger of us. It was magnificent! If a woman is stronger than her husband, she comes to despise him. She has the choice of either tyrannizing him or else making herself less in order not to make him less.
