More quotes by David Eddings
Isn't it easier to forgive than to hate? Until we learn how to forgive, that sort of thing is going to keep on happening. He pointed at the tall pillars of smoke rising to the north. Hate is a sterile thing, Belgarion.
David Eddings
No day in which you learn something is a complete loss.
David Eddings
It's one of the advantages of being a woman. I get to do all sorts of unfair things, and you have to accept them because you're too polite not to. --Polgara
David Eddings
Nobles and peasants marry early. Businessmen tend to wait.
David Eddings
Impatience is a poor substitute for a well-considered plan.
David Eddings
Heroes aren't allowed to be nervous. Who made up that rule? It's a known fact.
David Eddings
It's gaudy, ugly, and in terribly bad taste. It does, however, suit my personality almost perfectly.
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
...only in the surrender of the light could the darkness prevail.
David Eddings
Nothing that's really worthwhile should be easy, Belgarion. If it's easy, we don't value it.
David Eddings
The old man was peering intently at the shelves. 'I'll have to admit that he's a very competent scholar.' Isn't he just a librarian?' Garion asked, 'somebody who looks after books?' That's where all the rest of scholarship starts, Garion. All the books in the world won't help you if they're just piled up in a heap.
David Eddings
I'm hungry, Garion, and I don't think well when I'm hungry. That might explain a lot, Beldin noted blandly. We should have fed you more often when you were younger.
David Eddings
Keep working. Keep trying. Keep believing. You still might not make it, but at least you gave it your best shot. If you don’t have calluses on your soul, this isn’t for you. Take up knitting instead.
David Eddings
Listen to the way people talk. If your characters sound real the rest is easy.
David Eddings
Nothing that ever happens is so unimportant that it doesn't change things.
David Eddings
I'm a storyteller, not a prophet. I'm just interested in a good story.
David Eddings
You'll drive yourself crazy if you start trying to pry the meaning out of every gust of wind or rain squall. I'm not denying that there might actually be a few signs that you won't want to miss. Knowing the difference is the tricky part.
David Eddings
...I made some more threats. I've got this big knife back here. He poked his thumb over his shoulder. It attracts a lot of attention sometimes.
David Eddings
You're a cynic, Urgit accused. Silk shook his head. No, Your Majesty. I'm a realist.
David Eddings
I'm truly amazed at you, Garion, Polgara said. I didn't think you had the faintest idea of how to speak a civilized language. Thank you, he said, I think.
