Consistency is the defense of a small mind
David Eddings
Ordinary men live in fear all the time. Didn't you know that? We're afraid of the weather, we're afraid of powerful men, we're afraid of the night and the monsters that lurk in the dark, we're afraid of growing old and of dying. Sometimes we're even afraid of living. Ordinary men are afraid almost every minute of their lives.

David Eddings
Isn't it easier to forgive than to hate? -Eriond
David Eddings
It's only a story, isn't it?... Who's to say what's only a story and what's truth disguised as a story?
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
...it's as empty as a merchant's soul. Sorry, Kheldar, it's just an old expression. That's all right, Beldin, Silk forgave him grandly. These little slips of the tongue are common in the very elderly.
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
This is terrible, when a writer is bored by his own work, but it was a real bomb and had reached the point where I couldn't even stand to look at it any more.
David Eddings
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
