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.

It's the nature of man to ask questions. --Belgarath
David Eddings
The one of us who lies the best will get the better of the bargain. It's a game. A very exciting game that's played all over the world. Good players got rich, and bad players don't.
David Eddings
Now's the time to be alive - to see it all happen, to be a part of it. That makes the blood race, and each breath is an adventure.
