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

More quotes by 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
I'm a storyteller, not a prophet. I'm just interested in a good story.
David Eddings
Nothing that's really worthwhile should be easy, Belgarion. If it's easy, we don't value it.
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
All I knew was that I would die if he sent me away. He shrugged. You can cut a man’s heart out with a shrug, did you know that?
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
Misty Sendaria, Silk said ironically. Sometimes I'm amazed that the entire kingdom doesn't rust shut.
David Eddings
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
David Eddings
I've looked at the world for quite a few years now and I've found that if I don't laugh, I'll probably end up crying. - Prince Kheldar of Drasnia
David Eddings
You're a cynic, Urgit accused. Silk shook his head. No, Your Majesty. I'm a realist.
David Eddings
If the general opinion is pessimistic, fantasy is going to hold its own.
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
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.
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
When ignorance is bliss, there's folly in wisdom.
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
Heroes aren't allowed to be nervous. Who made up that rule? It's a known fact.
David Eddings
I've fallen back on this periodically, although I must say that getting out of the grocery business ranked right up there with getting out of the army as one of the happier experiences of my life.
David Eddings
Everything is idiocy if you choose to look at it in the proper perspective.
David Eddings
Isn't it easier to forgive than to hate? -Eriond
