Quote

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.

Impatience is a poor substitute for a well-considered plan.

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.

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.

The only reason there's such a thing as a morning in the first place is to keep night and afternoon from bumping into each other. -Kheldar
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.

All I knew was that I would die if he sent me away. He shrugged. You can cut a man’s heart out with a shrug, did you know that?

Heroes aren't allowed to be nervous. Who made up that rule? It's a known fact.

Everything is idiocy if you choose to look at it in the proper perspective.

Image
I must admit that I haven't heard of the Duchess of Erat before. You're a fortunate man, Wolf said. She's a great beauty, the man said admiringly. And has a temper to match, Wolf told him. I noticed that, the guard said. We noticed you noticing, Silk told him slyly.

I wrote a novel for my degree, and I'm very happy I didn't submit that to a publisher. I sympathize with my professors who had to read it.

Ce'Nedra returned, frowning and a little angry. They won't give me their eggs, Lady Polgara, she complained. They're sitting one them. You have to reach under them and take the eggs, dear. Won't that make them angry? Are you afraid of a chicken?

When ignorance is bliss, there's folly in wisdom.

The dullest man in the world is charming beyond belief when he's pouring gold coins from one hand to the other.

You're a cynic, Urgit accused. Silk shook his head. No, Your Majesty. I'm a realist.

Image
Now what?” Urgit warily asked his bride-to-be. “Am I disturbing your Majesty?” Prala asked. “…You always disturb me, my beloved,” he answered her question, spreading his arms extravagantly.

...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.

It's the nature of man to ask questions. --Belgarath

No day in which you learn something is a complete loss.

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.
