    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, Sojourn

    R. A. Salvatore

    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

  • #4
    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

  • #5
    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

  • #6
    R.A. Salvatore
    “Hindsight, I think, is a useless tool. We, each of us, are at a place in our lives because of innumerable circumstances, and we, each of us, have a responsibility (if we do not like where we are) to move along life's road, to find a better path if this one does not suit, or to walk happily along this one if it is indeed our life's way. Changing even the bad things that have gone before would fundamentally change who we are, and whether or not that would be a good thing, I believe, it is impossible to predict.
    So I take my past experiences... and try to regret nothing.
    -Drizzt Do'urden”
    R.A. Salvatore, Sea of Swords

  • #7
    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

  • #8
    R.A. Salvatore
    “Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division. That is life.”
    R.A. Salvatore, Exile

  • #9
    R.A. Salvatore
    “Everyone dies. It is how one lives that matters.”
    R.A. Salvatore

  • #10
    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

  • #11
    R.A. Salvatore
    “Change is not always growth, but growth is often rooted in change.
    Drizzt Do'Urden”
    R.A. Salvatore

  • #12
    R.A. Salvatore
    “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”
    R.A. Salvatore

  • #13
    R.A. Salvatore
    “We need to be reminded sometimes that a sunrise last but a few minutes.
    But its beauty can burn in our hearts eternally.”
    R.A. Salvatore

  • #14
    R.A. Salvatore
    “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.”
    R.A. Salvatore, The Legacy

  • #15
    R.A. Salvatore
    “If you can quit, then quit. If you can't quit, you're a writer.”
    R.A. Salvatore

  • #16
    R.A. Salvatore
    “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.”
    R.A. Salvatore, The Halfling's Gem

  • #17
    R.A. Salvatore
    “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.”
    R.A. Salvatore

  • #18
    R.A. Salvatore
    “Station is the paradox of the world of my people, the limitation of our power within the hunger for power. It is gained through treachery and invites treachery against those who gain it. Those most powerful in Menzoberranzan spend their days watching over their shoulders, defending against the daggers that would find their backs. Their deaths usually come from the front." -Drizzt Do'Urden”
    R.A. Salvatore, Homeland

  • #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
    “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

  • #21
    Marquis de Sade
    “this is what happens to the plans of humans, it is when they make them in the midst of their pleasures that death cuts the thread of their days without pity, and in the midst of life, without ever concerning themselves with this fatal moment, living as though they were to exist for ever, they disappear into the obscure cloud of immortality, uncertain of the fate which lies in store for them.”
    Marquis de Sade, Eugenie de Franval and Other Stories

  • #22
    Marquis de Sade
    “life is a bitch so enjoy it ;p”
    Sade

  • #23
    Marquis de Sade
    “Crime is to the passions what nervous fluid is to life: it sustains them, it supplies their strength.”
    Marquis De Sade D.A.F.

  • #24
    Marquis de Sade
    “Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a dissolute imagination the like of which has never been seen, atheistic to the point of fanaticism, there you have me in a nutshell, and kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change.”
    Marquis De Sade

  • #25
    Marquis de Sade
    “Happiness is an abstraction, it is a product of the imagination, it is a way of being moved, which depends entirely on our way of seeing and feeling.”
    Marquis de Sade, Gothic Tales of the Marquis de Sade

    “I've been to Hell. You've only read about it.”
    Doug Wright, Quills

  • #27
    Marquis de Sade
    “So long as the laws remain such as they are today, employ some discretion: loud opinion forces us to do so; but in privacy and silence let us compensate ourselves for that cruel chastity we are obliged to display in public.”
    Marquis de Sade

  • #28
    “There's ways you can trust an enemy you can't always trust a friend. An enemy's never going to betray your trust.”
    Daniel Abraham, The Dragon's Path

  • #29
    “We say that flowers return every spring, but that is a lie. It is true that the world is renewed. It is also true that that renewal comes at a price, for even if the flower grows from an ancient vine, the flowers of spring are themselves new to the world, untried and untested.

    The flower that wilted last year is gone. Petals once fallen are fallen forever. Flowers do not return in the spring, rather they are replaced. It is in this difference between returned and replaced that the price of renewal is paid.

    And as it is for spring flowers, so it is for us.”
    Daniel Abraham, The Price of Spring

  • #30
    “That's one of the things Yardem used to tell me that actually made sense. He said that you don't go through grief like it was a chore to be done. You can't push and get finished quicker. The best you can do is change the way you always do, and the time comes when you aren't the same person who was in pain.”
    Daniel Abraham, The Dragon's Path
