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.
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.

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
Behold the Drojim Palace, King Urgit said extravagantly to Sadi, the hereditary home of the House of Urga. A most unusual structure, You Majesty, Sadi murmured. That's a diplomatic way to put it. Urgit looked critically at his palace. It's gaudy, ugly, and in terribly bad taste. It does, however, suit my personality almost perfectl
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.

It's gaudy, ugly, and in terribly bad taste. It does, however, suit my personality almost perfectly.

The real world out there isn't nearly as nice as some people prefer it to be, so don't swallow everything your high-born teachers tell you without takinga long hard look at it yourselves.
David Eddings
Heroes aren't allowed to be nervous. Who made up that rule? It's a known fact.
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
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
Its a perfectly good face, Sparhawk. It covers the front of my head. What else can you expect from a face?
David Eddings
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?

It's the nature of man to ask questions. --Belgarath
David Eddings
Reed College required a thesis for a Bachelor's degree. Normally a Bachelor's is sort of like being stamped 'Prime US Beef.' They just walk you through, hand out the diplomas and you fill in your name later on.

All social workers want is to get everyone involved in a programme. Because a programme provides full employment for three generations of social workers. And they mess up.
David Eddings
It's all very well to put the government in the hands of the perfect man, but what do you do when the perfect man gets a bellyache?
David Eddings
Nobles and peasants marry early. Businessmen tend to wait.

Impatience is a poor substitute for a well-considered plan.
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
The dullest man in the world is charming beyond belief when he's pouring gold coins from one hand to the other.
