David Eddings
It's only a story, isn't it?... Who's to say what's only a story and what's truth disguised as a story?
David Eddings
What happened to your foot? I had a little disagreement with an eagle --stupid birds, eagles. He couldn't tell the difference between a hawk and a pigeon. I had to educate him. He bit me while I was tearing out a sizable number of his wing feathers. Uncle, Polgara said reproachfully. He started it.
David Eddings
