More quotes by David Eddings
Everything is idiocy if you choose to look at it in the proper perspective.
David Eddings
What happened to your foot? I had a little disagreement with an eagle --stupid birds, eagles. He couldn't tell the difference between a hawk and a pigeon. I had to educate him. He bit me while I was tearing out a sizable number of his wing feathers. Uncle, Polgara said reproachfully. He started it.
David Eddings
The dullest man in the world is charming beyond belief when he's pouring gold coins from one hand to the other.
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
Nobles and peasants marry early. Businessmen tend to wait.
David Eddings
You're a cynic, Urgit accused. Silk shook his head. No, Your Majesty. I'm a realist.
David Eddings
Any time there's something so ridiculously dangerous that no rational human being would try it, they send for me.' --Garion
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
Nothing that ever happens is so unimportant that it doesn't change things.
David Eddings
...only in the surrender of the light could the darkness prevail.
David Eddings
Don’t be afraid to discard work you know isn’t up to standard. Don’t save junk, just because it took you a long time to write it.
David Eddings
Keep working. Keep trying. Keep believing. You still might not make it, but at least you gave it your best shot. If you don’t have calluses on your soul, this isn’t for you. Take up knitting instead.
David Eddings
I'm hungry, Garion, and I don't think well when I'm hungry. That might explain a lot, Beldin noted blandly. We should have fed you more often when you were younger.
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
No day in which you learn something is a complete loss.
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
I'm a storyteller, not a prophet. I'm just interested in a good story.
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
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
David Eddings
As long as I know that my motives are good, I'm Seldom very concerned with the opinions of others. -Mandorallen, Baron of Vo Mandor.
