More quotes by David Eddings
Everything is idiocy if you choose to look at it in the proper perspective.
David Eddings
Start early and work hard. A writer's apprenticeship usually involves writing a million words (which are then discarded) before he's almost ready to begin. That takes a while.
David Eddings
When ignorance is bliss, there's folly in wisdom.
David Eddings
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
...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
If you're going to maintain any kind of self-respect, you're going to have to keep secrets from yourself.
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
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
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
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
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
Impatience is a poor substitute for a well-considered plan.
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
I've fallen back on this periodically, although I must say that getting out of the grocery business ranked right up there with getting out of the army as one of the happier experiences of my life.
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?

Isn't it easier to forgive than to hate? -Eriond

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

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
Heroes aren't allowed to be nervous. Who made up that rule? It's a known fact.
David Eddings
Misty Sendaria, Silk said ironically. Sometimes I'm amazed that the entire kingdom doesn't rust shut.
