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

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
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

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.
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
David Eddings
Everything is idiocy if you choose to look at it in the proper perspective.
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.

Isn't it easier to forgive than to hate? -Eriond
David Eddings
Nothing that ever happens is so unimportant that it doesn't change things.
David Eddings
I'm a storyteller, not a prophet. I'm just interested in a good story.
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
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
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
You're a cynic, Urgit accused. Silk shook his head. No, Your Majesty. I'm a realist.
