| 9b27987 | It's for the shadows now, and the gray ones, and may the whole stinkin' place fall in on their stinkin' heads! | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 4b32934 | Fantastic," muttered Harkle. "Simply unbelievable!" Regweld, too, had now noticed the black elf and seemed interested for the first time since the party had arrived. "Are we to be allowed passage?" Drizzt asked. "Oh, yes, please do come in," replied Harkle, trying unsuccessfully to mask his excitement" | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 9587ba2 | is it within us all, when the memories of war have faded, to so want to be a part of something great that we throw aside the quiet, the calm, the mundane, the peace itself? Do we collectively come to equate peace with boredom and complacency? Perhaps we hold these embers of war within us, dulled only by sharp memories of the pain and the loss, and when that smothering blanket dissipates with the passage of healing time, those fires flare ag.. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 734bb0c | She paused when she got to Drizzt, studying his handsome features. "Who have we here?" she asked, not losing her calm monotone. "I had not heard of your arrival, but I am sure that many will desire an audience with you before you go! We have never seen one of your kind." | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 5aaa12f | He had never held any illusions that he would change the whole world, of course, or even a substantial portion of it, but he had always held strongly that fighting to better just his own little pocket of the world was a worthwhile course. And | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 0a8466e | Wulfgar did smile. Then, all at once, he jerked back his head and roared, throwing away all of his anger and prejudice, so that he might take the halfling's advice and view Longsaddle with an open mind. Even the musical wizard stopped his playing to observe the spectacle of the barbarian's soul-cleansing scream. And when he had finished, Wulfgar laughed. Not an amused chuckle, but a thunderous roll of laughter that flowed up from his belly .. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 05a394e | And damn that Spider Queen as well! | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 8c4ac6c | What place is this," Drizzt asked the cat quietly, "that I call home? These are my people, by skin and by heritage, but I am no kin to them. They are lost and ever will be. "How many others are like me, I wonder?" | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 23e3aad | third had died in his bunk of natural causes--for a dagger in the heart quite naturally ends one's life. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 34a48f6 | Hindsight is easy, but decisions made in the moment are often much more difficult, the "right" choice often much harder to discern." | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 186a171 | Robillard looked out the window to the late afternoon skyline. Smoke rose from several locations, adding to the gloom. "So much gray out there," the wizard remarked. "So many shades of gray...." | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 6bd3bd0 | Spirit. In every language in all the Realms, surface and Underdark, in every time and every place, the word has a ring of strength and determination. It is the hero's strength, the mother's resilience, and the poor man's arm. It cannot be broken, and it cannot be taken away. This I must believe. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 738e79a | the path to joy is not paved in gold, particularly in gold unearned. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| f62d3b2 | Hardly that! The path to joy is paved in a sense of confidence and self-worth, a feeling that we have made the world a little bit better, perhaps, or that we fought on for our beliefs despite adversity | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 3d1be39 | Belwar's master, fearing for its god-thing, tried to follow, but the deep gnome's strength had returned tenfold with his anger, and his wounded arm felt no pain as he smashed his enchanted hammer-hand into the squishy flesh of the illithid's head. Sparks flew and scorched the illithid's face, and the creature slammed back into the wall, its milky, pupil-less eyes staring at Belwar in disbelief. Then it slid, ever so slowly, to the floor, do.. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 7fc9d25 | It is not hard to look back on history and see atrocities committed on a grand scale that horrify the sensibilities of the folk of this day but were simply accepted or deemed necessary by folk in days more superstitious and unenlightened. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| a0601e5 | What else might be said of Jarlaxle other than a confused sigh, after all? | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| a93198d | Concern yourself with the matters of Luskan, Jarlaxle," Gromph warned, his voice ominous and threatening. "Leave the greater truths to those of greater understanding." | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 9fc2f60 | I have come to know that it 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 can I ever truly begin to live. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| d238795 | He calmed by reminding himself that times of chaos were times of opportunity. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| a6a0a44 | Would that I had the courage to depart, this place or this life, or to stand openly against the wrongness that is the world of these, my kin. To seek an existence that does not run afoul to that which I believe, and to that which I hold dear faith is truth. | fantasy-fiction truth | R.A. Salvatore | |
| ae21531 | To place the measure of a living being's worth above that of another simply because that being wears the same color skin as I belittles my principles. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| cd8b013 | I'm leaving heaven behind for good, this time the angels can keep it. | Alkaline Trio | ||
| 69548b0 | As I turned into ash before my sweet demise, the end of me was so beautiful. | Alkaline Trio | ||
| 5f63bca | In the end, when life's last flickers fade, all that remains is memory. Richness, in the final measure, is not weighed in gold coins, but in the number of people you have touched, the tears of those who mourn your passing, and the fond remembrances of those who continue to celebrate your life. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 21067df | This was drow society in all its macabre play, and while it seemed ultimately wrong in the heart of the youngest member of House Do'Urden, Drizzt could not deny the excitement of the night. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 767946c | The journey is more important than the goal, for while the goal might be worthwhile, the journey is, in fact, the thread of your life. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| b33b638 | A true god damn you all! | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| f6a3404 | She has found the truth of competition, that there is no better challenge to be found than one a person can make with herself, that the personal competition outweighs any other, and by great magnitude. Simply, the rise of a rival challenges each of us to do better and be better, and that is to be celebrated, not feared or prevented. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 19a71c2 | I am writing my story," she said. "We all are. I want my story to be wide." | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 7333b07 | He would write his story, as Khotai always said, but it would be one with as few dead at the hands of Talmadge as possible. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 6a8d6fb | What?" he asked. "You've not the heart to kill them." Again, he merely shrugged. "You understand that's why I have fallen in love with you, yes?" Khotai said." | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 3350f07 | Once a witch is ever a witch," she said as the moment passed. "I could not unlearn the beauty of Usgar. No one could. Once you have seen truth, child, you will never forget." | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| f5416a7 | My dear friend, there is always more to lose. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| a00156b | It just was, a way of heart and belief and shared joy. It could not be created. It could not be coerced. It could not be altered. It just was. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 619f2ab | Because you have earned it, and I would be a lesser and petty thing to allow my surprise at your resilience, at the power of your love, to lead me to jealousy instead of, perhaps, enlightenment. And I am not a lesser and petty thing. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 8e9ff71 | Or because I believe in something greater still," Drizzt said. "Something that speaks to justice and that which is right." | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 024a0ef | You would have me lie? To what end?" Drizzt asked. "Fear is not fealty and worry is not worship." | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| fd48b25 | You have many years of life before you. Close no doors behind as you journey on. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 8c1e213 | Respect is one of the most basic needs of reasoning creatures, particularly among men. An insult is just that because it is an assault upon respect, upon esteem, and upon that most dangerous of qualities: pride. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 52a4afc | Pray for me, Arathis signed. But not to Lolth! Despite the tense situation, Jarlaxle managed a smile at that, a saying that was becoming litany for his band of mercenaries, all of them outcasts from the matriarchal society of Menzoberranzan and the misandry of the Spider Queen. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 17f4724 | It is a subtle shift in the omnipresent question of a rational being, from "What can I build?" to "What will I leave behind?" | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 993a98d | I will, I know, because in my grief the first time, when I thought these friends lost, my love lost, my life lost, I came to understand the truth: that the road will roll beneath your feet whether you step lightly with hope and swiftly with determination, or whether you plod in misery, scraping the dirt with heavy boots. Because the perspective of that journey is a choice, and I choose happiness, and I choose to climb the next mountain. | R.A. Salvatore | ||
| 45d979c | Of course!" Jarlaxle explained. "That's why he fights. Hope gives him meaning. That's why we love him. Still, you must admit that the gods are practical above all else. If the hearts of their followers change, their power will be diminished if they do not follow. Divine paradox, I think." | R.A. Salvatore |
