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.

R. A. Salvatore
A world without dragons is a world not worth living in.
R. A. Salvatore
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.
R. A. Salvatore
I need no fantasies to belittle the great treasures that I already possess.
R. A. Salvatore
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
First blood is mine. Last blood counts for more. --Artemis Entreri and Drizzt Do'Urden
R. A. Salvatore
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
There's way too much pain in this business for anyone who doesn't HAVE to write.
R. A. Salvatore
We need to be reminded sometimes that a sunrise last but a few minutes. But its beauty can burn in our hearts eternally.
R. A. Salvatore
Whenever you're writing a book or creating a movie or a game, your first task is to get the reader to suspend disbelief, to buy into the logic and boundaries of your world, even though those boundaries might include things like dragons and magic.
R. A. Salvatore
I will always love you Drizzt Do'Urden my life was full and without regret because I knew you and was completed by you. Sleep well, my love.
