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

Image
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
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.

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.

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.

Image
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.

Image
...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.

Impatience is a poor substitute for a well-considered plan.
David Eddings
Image
Nothing that's really worthwhile should be easy, Belgarion. If it's easy, we don't value it.
David Eddings
Image
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
Image
Heroes aren't allowed to be nervous. Who made up that rule? It's a known fact.
David Eddings
Image
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.

Image
All social workers want is to get everyone involved in a programme. Because a programme provides full employment for three generations of social workers. And they mess up.

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?

Isn't it easier to forgive than to hate? -Eriond

Nothing that ever happens is so unimportant that it doesn't change things.
