“A lot of people believe [that the Dragon will save us], only they’re afraid to say so, afraid of the Aes Sedai and the Children of the Light.” (tEotW, The Peddler)

“Stories told about the Children by peddlers and merchants and merchants’ guards varied from admiration to hatred, but all agreed the Children hated Aes Sedai as much as they did Darkfriends.” (tEotW, Choices)

“‘Ain’t nobody here [Baerlon] likes them at all. Most don’t let on, of course.’” (tEotW, C)

“‘There’s already been the Dragon’s Fang on some people’s door.’” (tEotW, C)

“‘...Governor Adan don’t trust them no more than I do. He won’t let but maybe ten or so inside the walls at one time, and ain’t they mad about that. The rest have a camp a little ways north, I hear. Bet they got the farmers looking over their shoulders. The ones that do come in, they just stalk around in those white cloaks, looking down their noses at honest folk. Walk in the Light, they say, and it’s an order. Near come to blows more than once with the wagoneers and miner and smelters...’” (tEotW, C)

“‘[The Children] are up to their usual tricks. Claim there’s an Aes Sedai, some woman they claim is an Aes Sedai, people will let all of them inside the walls. Well, I suppose some would. Some would. But most people know what the Whitecloaks are up to, and they support the Governor. No one wants to see some harmless old woman hurt just so the Children can have an excuse for whipping up a frenzy.’” (tEotW, The Stag and Lion)

“Three men in breastplates and conical steel caps, burnished till they shone like silver, were making their way down the street toward Rand and Mat. Even the mail on their arms gleamed. Their cloaks, pristine white and embroidered on the left breast with a golden sunburst, just cleared the mud and puddles of the street. Their hands rested on their sword hilts, and they looked around them as if looking at things that had wriggled out from under a rotting log. Nobody looked back, though. Nobody even seemed to notice them. Just the same, the three did not have to push through the crowd; the bustle parted to either side of the white-cloaked men as if by happenstance, leaving them to walk in a clear space that moved with them.” (tEotW, Strangers and Friends)

“‘Does the fear of the Light hold your tongue?’” (tEotW, SaF)

“‘Darkfriends do not escape us, youngling, even in a town that stands in the Shadow. We will meet again. You may be sure of it!’” (tEotW, SaF)

“‘Whitecloak Questioners assume you’re guilty before they start, and they have only one sentence for that kind of guilt. They don’t care about finding the truth; they think they know that already. All they go after with their hot irons and pincers is a confession.’” (tEotW, The Wisdom)

“‘Five white-cloaked men walked into the light from the guardhouse door. Their cowls were drawn up to hide their faces, but each man rested his hand on his sword, and the golden suns on their left breasts were a plain announcement of who they were.” (tEotW, Watchers and Hunters)

“Five white hoods turned to regard him...” (tEotW, WaH)

“‘The Children of the Light,’ the white-cloaked man who had first spoken said softly, ‘hold sway wherever men walk in the Light. Only where the Shadow of the Dark One reigns are the Children denied, yes?’” (tEotW, WaH)

“‘Everyone is of interest to the Children of the Light.’” (tEotW, WaH)

“‘The Children of the Light smell the evil.’ The Whitecloak’s eyes turned to the people on horseback. “We smell it, and root it out. Wherever it is found.’” (tEotW, WaH)

“‘Aes Sedai!’ Bornhald shouted, and five swords flashed from their sheaths. ‘Die!’ The other four hesitated, but he slashed at her in the same motion that cleared his sword.” (tEotW, WaH)

“‘Dapple says they smell wrong. It’s...sort of the way a rabid dog smells wrong.’” (tEotW, Children of Shadow)

“Groups of torch-carrying men now rode through the hills, bunches of ten or twelve.” (tEotW, CoS)

“Bunched torches, a dozen of them, came around the base of the hill, wavering with the trot of the horses. Lanceheads gleamed in the torchlight.” (tEotW, CoS)

“His plate-and-mail armor gleamed like silver against his snowy cloak and undercoat.” (tEotW, CoS)

“‘You will keep a civil tongue,’ Byar said, ‘when speaking to an Anointed of the Light, or you will have no tongue.’” (tEotW, CoS)

“‘I have heard of this thing of men running with wolves,’ Bornhald said musingly, ‘though I have not seen it before. Men supposedly talking with wolves, and with other creatures of the Dark One. A filthy business. It makes me fear the Last Battle is indeed coming soon.’” (tEotW, CoS)

“‘A Warder,’ the gray-haired man sighed. ‘A creature of the Tar Valon witches. What else would that sort tell you, when he is a Darkfriend himself, and a servant of Darkfriends? Do you not know Trollocs have wolves’ muzzles and teeth, and wolves’ fur?’” (tEotW, CoS)

“‘Give them back their belongings, Child Byar. Not the weapons, of course.’ When Byar looked at him in surprise, Bornhald added, ‘Or are you one of those who have taken to looting the unenlightened, Child Byar? It is a bad business, that, yes? No man can be a thief and walk in the Light.’” (tEotW, CoS)

“‘There is freedom in truth and the Light.’” (tEotW, CoS)

“‘The penalty for Darkfriends is death.’ The flat voice made it all the more jarring. He might have been suggesting steeping on a bug. ‘There is no truce with the Shadow. There is no mercy for Darkfriends.’” (tEotW, CoS)

“‘Remember that the Tenets also say, ‘No man is so lost that he cannot be brought to the Light.’ These two are young. They cannot yet be deep in the Shadow. They can yet be led to the Light, if they will only allow the Shadow to be lifted from their eyes. We must give them that chance.’“ (tEotW, CoS)

“‘Repent, renounce the Dark One, come to the Light, confess your sins and tell what you know of this vileness with wolves, and you will be spared that. You will walk free, in the Light.’” (tEotW, CoS)

“‘But you, just Perrin from the Two Rivers. You killed two of the Children.’ He touched the axe that Byar still held. ‘For you, I fear, a gibbet waits in Amador.’”

“‘…I don’t need Whitecloaks egging somebody on to paint the Dragon’s Fang on my door…’” (tEotW, Caemlyn)

“‘The Children should not be interested in a village boy, not unless there was something to make them suspicious. The Light knows it doesn’t take much to make Whitecloaks suspicious, but is still worries me.’” (tEotW, The Long Chase)

“‘If we’re seen, we may find two hundred Whitecloaks on our heels…” (tEotW, TLC)

“‘All is well with the night,’ one white-cloaked shape announced. ‘The Light illumine us, and protect us from the Shadow.’ ‘All is well with the night,’ The other replied…” (tEotW, TLC)

“The horses along the picket-lines—there was more than one row…” (tEotW, TLC)

“The Children did not think prisoners needed blankets, or shelter. Especially not dangerous Darkfriends.” (tEotW, TLC)

“‘Why should Darkfriends sleep,’ Byar said disapassionately, ‘when decent men must stay awake to guard them?’” (tEotW, TLC)

“‘The Council of the Anointed has heard reports of such things…” (tEotW, TLC)

“Dead silence filled the room. Five Whitecloaks stood in the middle of the floor, studiously being ignored by the folk at the tables. One of them had the silver lightning-flash of an under-officer beneath the sunburst on wall by the front door.” (tEotW, Old Friends and New Threats)

“Only the under-officer showed any emotion at all, impatiently tapping his steel-backed gauntlets against his palm as he waited for the innkeeper.” (tEotW, OFaNT)

“‘It will go easier with you, innkeeper.’ The under-officer said, ‘ if you cooperate. The temper of the times goes hard with those who shelter Darkfriends. I wouldn’t think an inn with the Dragon’s Fang on its door would get much custom. Might have trouble with fire, with that on your door.’” (tEotW, OFaNT)
