"I'm sure you all remember Margravine Liselle, my fiancee."
"Your fiancee?" Barak exclaimed in amazement.
"We all have to settle down sometime." Silk shrugged.
They gathered around to congratulate him. Velvet, however, did not looked pleased.
"Was something the matter, dear?" Silk asked her, all innocence.
"Don't you think you've forgotten something, Kheldar?" she asked acidly.
"Not that I recall."
"You neglected to ask me about this first."
"Really? Did I actually forget that? You weren't planning to refuse were you?"
--Silk, Barak, Liselle
"I think what I'd really like to do, though, is yank out his guts, hang them on a thorn bush, and invite in some vultures. I'm sure he'd find watching them eat very entertaining."

--Hettar
"My Lord, I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offense against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fir which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornement for a human face. Is it possible that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?"
--Mandorallean
"Have you ever noticed that ? Brides are radiant , Bridegrooms are nervous , does that give you any inclination as to who really runs this world ?"
--Belgarath
"What were you doing there anyway"

"You look beautiful, Kalten," she complimented him. "I think you might pass once I rouge your cheeks."
"Absolutely not!" He backed away from her.
"Kalten," she said quite firmly, "sit down." She pointed at a chair and reached for a rouge pot.
"Do I have to?"
"Yes. Now sit."
Kalten looked at Sparhawk. "If you laugh, we're going to fight, so don't even think about it."
"Me?"
--Sephrenia, Kalten, and Sparhawk
"Did you hang them?" Talen asked fiercely.
"Sephrenia wouldn't let us, so my men gave them a switching instead."
"That's all?"
"They used thorn bushes for switches. Thorns grow very long down here in Arcium, and I instructed my men to be thorough about it."

"Is he vicious?"
"It's the nature of the war horse, your Grace," Sparhawk explained. "They're bred for aggressiveness. In Faran's case they just went too far."
"Has he ever bitten you?"
"Once. Then I explained to him that I'd rather he didn't do it any more."
"Explained?"
"I used a stout stick. He got the idea almost immediately."
--Sparhawk & Patriarch Dolmont
"Well did you expect me to shrink?" she asked.

"You said to say push."
"I said to push. I didn't say to say push."
--Belgarath and Garion
"You killed him?" Garion asked in a shocked voice.
"Of course I didn't kill him. All I did was run him through the leg- just a little bit."
"How can you run somebody through just a little bit, Lelldorin?" Garion demanded of his friend in exasperation.
--Garion and Lelldorin
"Doesn't she EVER listen to ANYBODY?" the little princess grumbled to Garion as they rode along behind Aunt Pol and Durnik on the road to Medalia.
"She always listens," Garion replied.
"But she never changes her mind, does she?"
"Not very often- but she DOES listen."
--Ce'Nedra and Garion

"On a quiet hillside some distance from the struggle taking place on the north bank, the simpleminded serf boy from the Arendish forest was playing his flute. His melody was mournful, but even in its sadness, it soared to the sky. The boy did not unders tand the fighting and he had wandered away unnoticed. Now he sat alone on the grassy hillside in the warm midmorning sunlight with his entire soul pouring out of his flute. The Mallorean soldier who was creeping up behind him with drawn sword had no ear for music. He did not know - or care - that the song the boy played was the most beautiful song any man had ever heard. The song ended very suddenly, never to begin again."
