Impatience is a poor substitute for a well-considered plan.
David Eddings
Image
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.

Nothing that ever happens is so unimportant that it doesn't change things.
David Eddings
Image
Nothing that's really worthwhile should be easy, Belgarion. If it's easy, we don't value it.

Image
I didn't particularly feel like being arrested, so I argued with the soldiers a bit. Several of them died during the argument - those things happen once in a while. Unfortunately, one of the casualties was Taur Urgas' oldest son. The king of the Murgos took it personally. He's very narrow-minded sometimes. - Silk

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.

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

I'm a storyteller, not a prophet. I'm just interested in a good story.
David Eddings

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

Consistency is the defense of a small mind
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
Image
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
Image
Any time there's something so ridiculously dangerous that no rational human being would try it, they send for me.' --Garion
David Eddings
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.
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.
