Impatience is a poor substitute for a well-considered plan.
David Eddings
Image
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
Image
No day in which you learn something is a complete loss.
David Eddings
Image
I'm a storyteller, not a prophet. I'm just interested in a good story.
David Eddings
Image
Don’t be afraid to discard work you know isn’t up to standard. Don’t save junk, just because it took you a long time to write it.
David Eddings
Image
...only in the surrender of the light could the darkness prevail.
David Eddings
Image
You're a cynic, Urgit accused. Silk shook his head. No, Your Majesty. I'm a realist.
David Eddings
Image

Image
Women are almost always angry with men for one reason or another. It's one of things you'll have to get used to, as you get older.
David Eddings
Image
Young people, however, tend to ignore the customs of their elders. Adolescent rebellion has been responsible for all manner of absurd costumes. The more ridiculous a certain fashion is, the more adolescents will cling to it.
David Eddings
Image
The notion that any one person can describe 'what really happened' is an absurdity. If ten - or a hundred - people witness an event, there will be ten - or a hundred - different versions of what took place. What we see and how we interpret it depends entirely upon our individual past experience.
David Eddings
Image
If the general opinion is pessimistic, fantasy is going to hold its own.
David Eddings
Image
...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
Image
Events are like horses. Sometimes they run away. After they've run for a while, though, they'll start to walk again. Then there'll be a time to put everything together.
David Eddings
Image
Heroes aren't allowed to be nervous. Who made up that rule? It's a known fact.
David Eddings
Image
Nothing that's really worthwhile should be easy, Belgarion. If it's easy, we don't value it.
David Eddings
Image
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.
