I've spared with demons from the Nine Hells themselves, I shall barely break a sweat here today.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
But what of faith? What of fidelity and loyalty? Complete trust? Faith is not granted by tangible proof. It comes from the heart and the soul. If a person needs proof of god's existence, then the very notion of spirituality is diminished into sensuality and we have reduced what is holy into what is logical.-Drizzt Do'urden

Luck? Drizzt replied. Perhaps. But more often, I dare to say, luck is simply the advantage a true warrior gains in excuting the correct course of action.

I didn't and don't go to Internet for any business purposes. The book sales for me by this point are way beyond any influence I might have, positively, or others might have, negatively.
R. A. Salvatore

There's way too much pain in this business for anyone who doesn't HAVE to write.

How many people long for that past, simpler, and better world, I wonder, without ever recognizing the truth that perhaps it was they who were simpler and better, and not the world about them?

It is better, I think, to grab at the stars than to sit flustered because you know you cannot reach them.
R. A. Salvatore

To grant the power of a weapon master to anyone at all, without effort, without training and proof that the lessons have taken hold, is to deny the responsibility that comes with such power.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
The most common criticism that I've seen is that I write popcorn fantasy: lightweight action-adventure. Some people call it that as they explain why they love it for exactly that reason. I'm cool with that, either way. I just nod and let it go.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the experience of reading the book for my readers.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
Take your love and your pleasure as you find it. Do not worry so much of the future that you let today pass you by. you are happy. need you know more than that?
R. A. Salvatore
Image
Also, there are authors and publicists using the Internet to manipulate opinion, both positively for a work and negatively against the competition. I don't do this and can't stomach it, honestly.

First blood is mine. Last blood counts for more. --Artemis Entreri and Drizzt Do'Urden
R. A. Salvatore
Image
I shudder at the concept of a world tamed.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
Because of the friends I have known, the honorable people I have met, I know I am no solitary hero of unique causes. I know now that when I die, I will live on. That which is important will live on. This is my Legacy and by the grace of the gods, I am not alone.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
These were the companions who justified my principles, who gave me the strength to continue against any foe, real or imagined. These were the companions who fought the helplessness, the rage, and frustration. These were the friends who gave me my life.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
Truth, though, is nothing in the face of self-falsehood, and principles are of no value if the idealist cannot live up to his own standards.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
I need no fantasies to belittle the great treasures that I already possess.

I am no longer amazed by how quickly a man will justify his change of heart when a spear is leveled his way.
