First blood is mine. Last blood counts for more. --Artemis Entreri and Drizzt Do'Urden
R. A. Salvatore
Image
I am sorry, was all Drizzt could quietly mouth. Vierna shook her head, refusing any apology. To Drizzt, it seemed as if that buried part of her that was Zaknafein Do'Urden's daughter approved of this ending.

The parry is wrong. - Drizzt Do'Urden
R. A. Salvatore
Image
The gods of the realms are many and varied -- or they are the many and varied names and identities tagged onto the same being. I know not -- and care not -- which.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division. That is life.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
The meekest of animals will fight bravely when it is backed against a wall, for it has nothing left to lose. A poor man is more deadly than a rich man because he puts less value on his own life.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
Definitely they write themselves. It's an amazing experience. It's like the characters have come alive and are sitting on my shoulder talking to me, telling me their tales.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
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
Image
No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
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
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
Farewell is said by the living, in life, every day. It is said with love and friendship, with the affirmation that the memories are lasting if the flesh is not.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
There is no pain greater than this not the cut of a jagged-edged dagger nor the fire of a dragon's breath. Nothing burns in your heart like the emptiness of losing something, someone, before you truly have learned of its value.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
Never seem to have a Death Star lying around when you need one.” -Han Solo
R. A. Salvatore
Image
We are all prisoners at one time or another in our lives, prisoners to ourselves or to the expectations of those around us. It is a burden that all people endure, that all people despise, and that few people ever learn to escape.
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
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.
R. A. Salvatore
Image
It is better, I think, to grab at the stars than to sit flustered because you know you cannot reach them.

In the past, TSR and now Wizards of the Coast have asked me to do game stats for my characters, and I'm never comfortable doing that. It's all relative after all.
