Zedd quotes from Legend of the Seeker

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.

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.

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.
