Ezra Pound

No man understands a deep book until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.
Ezra Pound

I have always thought the suicide should bump off at least one swine before taking off for parts unknown.
Ezra Pound

I feel sorry sometimes for these sportsmen and women who put in just as much effort as the footballers. For example, athletes train at least as hard as footballers but have to be happy if they can earn enough to finance a decent education.

R. A. Salvatore

Here's the thing, for me at least: this is a huge genre now. It wasn't always so. Not so many years ago, it wasn't so. There is a tremendous diversity in fantasy today.
R. A. Salvatore

I've led this empty life for over forty years and now I can pass that heritage on and ensure that the misery will continue for at least one more generation.
