- Chase Brandstone: So you're supposed to kill this Darken Rahl?
- Richard Cypher: They say it's my destiny.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Lesson number 1, sometimes to gain ground you need to slow down.
- Richard Cypher: That doesn't make sense.
- Kahlan Amnell: Never expect sense from a wizard.
- Chase Brandstone: If I believed in fairy tales, I'd say I just saw my friend Richard Cypher slay a dragon!
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: 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.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: [as Richard stares at Kahlan] None of that, boy.
- Richard Cypher: What?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: I see the way you're looking at her.
- Richard Cypher: [scoffs] I don't know what you're talking about.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: You think because I'm old I don't remember what it's like to get my britches in a bunch over a beautiful woman?
- Richard Cypher: My britches aren't in a bunch.
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Bunched britches, lurching loins, hot haunches... call it what you want. It can never be. Not with her.
- Richard Cypher: [shakes his head] Why are you telling me this?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Because you need to concentrate on finding Fane. Keep your eyes on the trail up ahead, not on her posterior.
- Richard Cypher: [eerie voices calling out] Who are they?
- Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Shadow People.
- Kahlan Amnell: It's the souls of the dead. It's said that they can travel into the Boundary from the underworld.
- Kahlan Amnell: [little Shar's funeral] May the Spirits light your way through the land of the shadow, to the halls of eternal peace.
