    Ian Edginton
    “Calling it the end of the world was a conceit. The world kept ticking on just fine, it was humanity that took the hit. Seven months from top of the food chain to endangered species. Mother Nature breathed a sigh of relief. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, ‘fish and houseguests smell after three days.’ By extension, after three hundred thousand years, we’d really stunk up the place. It took decades for the payback to come, but that’s what it does so well... the Earth abides.”
    Ian Edginton

    Christie Golden
    “We all are weak, in one way or another. It does not matter the species. Some times that weakness is a strength in dusguise. Sometimes it is our utter undoing. Some times it is both. A wise man seeks to find a lesson from it. A fool lets it control and destroy him.
    And sometimes the wise man is the fool.”
    Christie Golden, Rise of the Horde

    Ted Naifeh, Courtney Crumrin and the Coven of Mystics

    R.A. Salvatore
    “We are all dying, every moment that passes of every day. That is the inescapable truth of this existence. It is a truth that can paralyze us with fear, or one that can energize us with impatience, with the desire to explore and experience, with the hope- nay, the iron-will!- to find a memory in every action. To be alive, under sunshine, or starlight, in weather fair or stormy. To dance with every step, be they through gardens of flowers or through deep snows.”
    R.A. Salvatore

    R.A. Salvatore
    “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, Streams of Silver

  • #16
    R.A. Salvatore
    “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.”
    R.A. Salvatore, Streams of Silver

  • #17
    R.A. Salvatore
    “Nostalgia is a necessary thing, I believe, and a way for all of us to find peace in that which we have accomplished, or even failed to accomplish. At the same time, if nostalgia precipitates actions to return to that fabled, rosy-painted time, particularly in one who believes his life to be a failure, then it is an empty thing, doomed to produce nothing but frustration and an even greater sense of failure.”
    R.A. Salvatore, Streams of Silver

  • #18
    R.A. Salvatore
    “We need to be reminded sometimes that a sunrise last but a few minutes.

  • #19
    R.A. Salvatore
    “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?”
    R.A. Salvatore, The Orc King

  • #20
    R.A. Salvatore
    “There is a place within each of us where we cannot hide from the truth, where virtue sits as judge. To admit the truth of our actions is to go before that court, where process is irrelevant. Good and evil are intents, and intent is without excuse.”
    R.A. Salvatore, Passage to Dawn

  • #21
    R.A. Salvatore
    “The physical powers of the body cannot be separated from the rationale of the mind and the emotions of the heart. They are one and the same, a compilation of a singular being. It is in the harmony of these three-body, mind, and heart- that we find spirit.
    ...
    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 armor. It cannot be broken, and it cannot be taken away.”
    R.A. Salvatore

  • #22
    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

  • #23
    R.A. Salvatore
    “It is better, I think, to grab at the stars than to sit flustered because you know you cannot reach them... At least he who reaches will get a good stretch, a good view, and perhaps even a low-hanging apple for his efforts.”
    R.A. Salvatore, Sojourn
