Reed College required a thesis for a Bachelor's degree. Normally a Bachelor's is sort of like being stamped 'Prime US Beef.' They just walk you through, hand out the diplomas and you fill in your name later on.

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

Nothing that's really worthwhile should be easy, Belgarion. If it's easy, we don't value it.

Events are like horses. Sometimes they run away. After they've run for a while, though, they'll start to walk again. Then there'll be a time to put everything together.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Call it my little gesture toward social conscience, but I like to think I'm teaching a certain number of people to read. Now that sounds pretentious!

If you're going to maintain any kind of self-respect, you're going to have to keep secrets from yourself.

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
