Legend of the Seeker quotes

Richard Cypher

Don't you get it? I'm not what you want me to be. Maybe all those years ago you saved the wrong child.

No. You are the true Seeker. If anybody failed, it was me telling myself this storm would never come. Kahlan was right. I should have prepared you. What happened to your father is only the beginning of Rahl's evil. But you can stop him. You and only you.

Richard

How?

In this life, we cannot go back. Only forward. You have a great destiny ahead of you, Richard Cypher, if you're willing to accept it.

Richard Cypher, though your road will be long and the outcome unknown, will you undertake this journey?

Richard

I will.

Will you leave behind your friends and all that you have known?

Richard

I will.

Though the forces of evil have sworn to bring about your death, still will you go on?

Richard

[Pauses and looks at Kahlan] I will.

Then will you accept the name of the Seeker?

Richard

[Pauses and looks at the Sword of Truth] I will.

Then I, First Wizard Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander, so name you.

Darken Rahl

The Seeker…he lives.

Lesson Number One, Seeker: Sometimes to gain ground you need to slow down.

Richard Cypher

That doesn't make sense.

Never expect sense from a wizard.

Not on an empty stomach

Richard

You are in luck, my friend's wife makes the best soup in Hartland

It can never be, not with her.

Richard

[Looks at Kahlan] Why are you telling me this?

Because you concentrate on finding Fane. Keep your eyes on the trail up ahead, not on her posterior. Lesson Number Two, Seeker: Clear your mind of what was and will be. See only the task that is.

Wizard's First Rule: People will believe a lie because they want it to be true or because they're afraid it might be true.

Denna

Did you not feel my Agiel? The harder you fight, the more painful its magic will become. And after I've finished training you with it, you'll do anything to please me. Anything. And nothing will please me more than to see the Seeker, stand at the gates of the People's Palace, and there, before the multitudes, take the hand of Lord Rahl and pledge his undying love and fealty to him.

Richard Cypher

I'm going to take that Sword, and I'm going to kill him with it. After I kill you.

Denna

I do enjoy a challenge. Shall we begin?

Denna

Pain is the one experience common to every living thing. It unites us. Mord-Sith are taught to use pain, to channel it, control it, just as you are learning.

Richard Cypher

Mistress Denna, would you allow Constance to train me tomorrow?

Denna

[beating him] Why are you asking for Constance!? You prefer her touch to mine? Obviously I've been too easy on you! Why do you ask for her? Answer me!

Richard Cypher

Because it hurts you to use the Agiel. I don't want you to suffer any more because of me.

[to Darken Rahl] What do you know about love....except that you will never feel it from any one?

Richard

[to Kahlan] You loved me across time.

Wizard's Second Rule: The greatest harm can result from the best intentions.

Mord-Sith believe emotions must be governed. Sadness, remorse, love, these feelings make you weak. But anger, loyalty, pride, these feelings make you powerful.

Darken Rahl

[to Richard] I am going to join your little quest, and when you find the stone of tears, you will give it to me and I will follow the instructions on the scroll and heal the rift.

: Can we speed this up? She loves you, you love her. I should protect her as if she were you. Did I miss anything?
