Jag hittade inte citat jag sökte efter, men istället det här.
Question from El-Loko: Did you have the entire storyline, bar a few details, before you even started writing Book One?
Robert Jordan: Yes. There were a good many details I didn't have, but the story line, the major events; those were all in my head. I could have written the last scene of the last book more than 15 years ago. And what happens in that scene would not be any different from what I intend to happen now.
Observera: "I COULD have written the last scene of the last book more than 15 years ago."
"Could", inte "did".
