The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.

About This Quote

In the Wheel of Time, the series by Robert Jordan, there is a prophecy about a chosen one who will save the world from destruction. The chosen one is the only one who can stop a terrible evil. The prophecy says that if he cannot accomplish this task, then “The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow." If he succeeds in destroying the Dark One, then he would be known as the Dragon Reborn.
