R. A. Salvatore
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.

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?
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
It is better, I think, to grab at the stars than to sit flustered because you know you cannot reach them.
R. A. Salvatore
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
I've spared with demons from the Nine Hells themselves, I shall barely break a sweat here today.
R. A. Salvatore
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
I'm trying to make all the characters change and grow, or regress.
R. A. Salvatore
I have come to know that it [death] is an important thing to keep in mind - not to complain or to make melancholy, but simply because only with the honest knowledge that one day I will die I can ever truly begin to live.
R. A. Salvatore
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
R. A. Salvatore
I'm a working-class kid from a blue-collar New England family.
R. A. Salvatore
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
