| eac294d | I know, when we are young we cannot entertain the idea another's feelings can be as deep as our own. Our love is so much loftier, our pain so much more intense. | feelings love pain young youth | Raymond E. Feist | |
| f90e00a | You've learned something very young, Prince, something that even older men rarely understand. You've learned that fear isn't a terrible-looking thing but something lovely and seductive. | misconceptions | Raymond E. Feist | |
| ce1869b | It was something he had never quite understood about himself. He had seen thousands of men die in nearly ten years of war and could look on it at times with a near-total detachment, but an animal suffering - be it a horse or needra injured in battle, or the stag now dying - moved him deeply. | death-and-dying | Raymond E. Feist | |
| b9e05de | From our birth we are all dying, but some of us finish sooner than others. | knowing-when-to-let-go timing | Raymond E. Feist | |
| c143631 | He remembered how his father had told him that when it snowed even humans could see the wind, and it was so. He watched as gusty eddies danced and flickered, a single flake pausing for a moment to hover before his eyes, a twirling crystal of light, the exhale of his warm breath causing it to dance away even as it melted. | see-the-beauty vivid-description | Raymond E. Feist | |

| e51f55c | It's often said we take offense most in what we see of ourselves in others. | Raymond E. Feist | ||
| 89eb87b | Fear holds us and binds us and keeps us from growing, Nicholas.' Pug's voice took on an insistent quality. 'It kills a small piece of us each day. It holds us to what we know and keeps us from what's possible, and it is our worst enemy. Fear doesn't announce itself; it's disguised, and it's subtle. It's choosing the safe course; most of us feel we have "rational" reasons to avoid taking risks.' He smiled reassuringly. 'The brave man is not .. | Raymond E. Feist | ||
| c45871c | Most of us move through life with little chance to learn much about ourselves. We know some things we like and some things we dislike, we have a few ideas about what makes us happy, and we die in ignorance regarding anything profound within ourselves. | profundity | Raymond E. Feist | |
| 9ac6385 | I let my anger consume me." "It's understandable," she said. "It may be understandable," replied Pug, "but it is no more forgivable for being understandable." | forgiveness understanding | Raymond E. Feist | |

| 875f77b | We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;-- World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: We are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems. | Raymond E. Feist | ||
| cc78faa | There is no magic, only tricks. | Raymond E. Feist | ||

| 0f3cbf2 | Beyond the River of the Blessed, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Avalon. Our swords were shattered in our hands and we hung our shields on the oak tree. The silver towers were fallen, into a sea of blood. How many miles to Avalon? None, I say, and all. The silver towers are fallen. | Roger Zelazny | ||
| 2588926 | Blindspin. A single name of a multitude of practices centered about the auto-driven auto. Flashing across the country in the sure hands of an invisible chauffeur, windows all opaque, night dark, sky high, tires assailing the road below like four phantom buzzsaws--and starting from scratch and ending in the same place, and never knowing where you are going or where you have been--it is possible, for a moment, to kindle some feeling of indivi.. | Roger Zelazny | ||

| 315055a | What an enormous chutzpah you possess," I told him. "What makes you better than the rest of us, and more fit to rule?" "The fact that I was able to occupy the throne," he replied. "Try and take it." | Roger Zelazny | ||
| cc7b1ab | But that is the way it is with all oracles, Jack. When that which is foreseen comes to pass, the inquirer is no longer the same person he was when he posed the question. It is impossible to make a man understand what he will become with the passage of time; and it is only a future self to whom a prophecy is truly relevant. | Roger Zelazny | ||

| 4b49c9a | As he was cast over the edge, he was able to turn and look upward. Falling, he saw a dark figure in the sky that grew even as his eyes passed over it. Of course, he thought, he has finally looked upon the sunrise and been freed ... Wings folded, his great, horned countenance impassive, Morningstar dropped like a black meteor.

| b18885b | While suggesting you repent, prophets very seldom predict the wrath of the gods in terms of landslides and hurricanes. No. Floods and fires are what you get for the rottenness of your ways.

| ea346d5 | It would be an act of wisdom to depart immediately... but wisdom is itself the product of knowledge; and knowledge, unfortunately, is generally the product of foolish doings.

| 86a6220 | Now, in every city into which I venture, uniforms rush upon me, dust dandruff from my collar, press a brochure into my hand, recite the latest weather report, pray for my soul, throw walk-shields over nearby puddles, wipe off my windshield, hold an umbrella over my head on sunny or rainy days, or shine an ultra-infra flashlight before me on cloudy ones, pick lint from my belly-button, scrub my back, shave my neck, zip up my fly, shine my sh.. | Roger Zelazny | ||

| 8166a02 | I sucked on a blade of grass and watched the millwheel turn. I was lying on my stomach on the stream's opposite bank, my head propped in my hands. There was a tiny rainbow in the mist above the froth and boil at the foot of the waterfall, and an occasional droplet found its way to me. The steady splashing and the sound of the wheel drowned out all other noises in the wood. The mill was deserted today, and I contemplated it because I had not.. | Roger Zelazny |
