The blood of love welled up in my heart with a slow pain.

I knew you'd decide to be all right again.

I wanted to be where nobody I knew could ever come.

Character is fate.

You are a dream; I hope I never meet you.

I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who ski better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.

I felt myself melting into the shadows like the negative of a person I'd never seen before in my life.

But I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure at all. How did I know that someday―at college, in Europe, somewhere, anywhere―the bell jar, with its stifling distortions, wouldn't descend again?

I must learn more about these people―try to understand them, put myself in their place. No, instead I am so busy keeping my head above water that I scarcely know who I am, much less who anyone else is.

Whenever I'm sad I'm going to die, or so nervous I can't sleep, or in love with somebody I won't be seeing for a week, I slump down just so far and then I say: 'I'll go take a hot bath.

Wear your heart on your skin in this life.

I must be lean & write & make worlds beside this to live in.

I may never be happy, but tonight I am content.

All I want is blackness. Blackness and silence.

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

Sane is boring.

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.

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?

Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division. That is life.

Everyone dies. It is how one lives that matters.

If you can quit, then quit. If you can't quit, you're a writer.

Change is not always growth, but growth is often rooted in change. Drizzt Do'Urden

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.

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.

We need to be reminded sometimes that a sunrise last but a few minutes. But its beauty can burn in our hearts eternally.

Follow your heart, minute by minute and day by day. Let the course of the river run as it will, instead of tying yourself up in fears that you may never realize" Wulfgar

I don't have to prove my worth and value to any but those I love, and that I do by being who I am, with confidence that those I love appreciate the good and accept the bad. Does anything else really matter?

Because in fantasy perhaps more than in any other genre, the character is rewarded for making the right choices and punished for making the bad. Ask Boromir.

A world without dragons is a world not worth living in.

Because everything of value that we will know in this life comes from our relationships with those around us. Because there is nothing material that measures against the intangibles of love and friendship.

First blood is mine. Last blood counts for more. --Artemis Entreri and Drizzt Do'Urden

Never confuse honor with stupidity!

There is a wide world out there, full of pain, but filled with joy as well. The former keeps you on the path of growth and the latter makes the journey tolerable.

A king is a man strong of character and conviction who leads by example and truly cares for the suffering of his people,not a brute who rules simply because he is the strongest.

A span of a few heartbeats can make for a greater memory than the sum of a mundane year.-Catti-brie

Artemis Entreri: Do not underestimate Jarlaxle. Many have; they all are dead.

It is more difficult by far to be independent of our own inner shackles than it is of the shackles that others might place upon us.

There is a difference between finding trouble in your path and going out of your way searching for it.” -Jacen Solo

Never seem to have a Death Star lying around when you need one.” -Han Solo

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.

...a third [of three] had died in his bunk of natural causes--for a dagger in the heart quite naturally ends one's life.

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.

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?

Beware the engineers of society, I say, who would make everyone in all the world equal. Opportunitty should be equal, must be equal, but achievement must remain individual. - Drizzt Do'Urden

No one will ever write a fantasy novel better than The Hobbit.

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

Where in the Nine Hells did you ever get the notion I would fight fair?" Drizzt Do'Urden

Farewell, my friend," Drizzt whispered, trying futilely to keep his voice from breaking. :This journey you make alone.

I've spared with demons from the Nine Hells themselves, I shall barely break a sweat here today.

Drizzt had always suspected it, but now it was confirmed, that "welcome" was his favortie word in the Common Tongue, and a word, he understood with no equivalent in the language of the drow.
