The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6) QUOTES

1 " Of all the crowns that Bruenor had worn or would, none was more important than that of Father. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

2 " Drizzt felt the despair most keenly. For all the trials of his hard life, the drow had held faith for ultimate justice. He had believed, though he never dared to admit it, that his unyielding faith in his precious principles would bring him the reward her deserved. Now, there was this, a struggle that could only end in death, where one victory brought only more conflict. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

3 " He looked down at the mask hanging around his neck. So simple a lie, and he could walk freely throughout the world.
But would he then be trapped within the web of his own deception? What freedom could he find in denying the truth about himself? "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

4 " 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. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

5 " only with the honest knowledge that one day I will die can I ever truly begin to live. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

6 " Time to hunt?" Cattie-brie cried, satisfied that she had gotten her point across. She rose beside Wulfgar and headed for the door, but she turned her head over her shoulder to face Drizzt one final time, giving him a look that told him that perhaps he should have asked for more from Cattie-brie back in Icewind Dale, before Wulfgar had entered her life. "

7 " Your hunger blurs your ability, "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

8 " Tell us of this Calim Desert,” said Wulfgar. “What is a desert?” “A barren land,” replied Deudermont grimly, not wanting to understate the challenge that would be before them if they chose that course. “An empty wasteland of blowing, stinging sands and hot winds. Where monsters rule over men, and many an unfortunate traveler has crawled to his death to be picked clean by vultures.” The four friends shrugged away the captain’s grim description. Except for the temperature difference, it sounded like home. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

9 " For whatever we do in our lives, discipline and control over our own actions ultimately measure the level of our success. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

10 " Perhaps the greatest evil I see in this existence is when supposedly holy men prey upon the basic fears of death of the common folk to take from them. “Give to the church!” they cry. “Only then will you find salvation! Even more subtle are the many religions that do not directly ask for a person’s coin, but insist that anyone of goodly and godly heart who is destined for their particular description of heaven, would willingly give that coin over. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

11 " Cats?” Bruenor gawked at Regis. “Ye brought cats?” Regis smiled and shifted his head in his hands. “You know a better way to get rid of mice? "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

12 " Keep him well,” the dwarf finished with a wink, and he slammed the door with a bang. “He hates my door,” the wizard lamented. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

13 " Perhaps we will meet again and do battle, and if I kill him, I will shed no tears for him. Not for who he is, at least, but quite possibly, I will cry for who this marvelous warrior might have become. If I kill him, I will be crying for myself. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

14 " No, what keeps Captain Deudermont safe is his ability to show respect for anyone he meets. He is a man of charm, who holds well his personal pride. He grants respect at the outset of a meeting and continues that respect until the person forfeits it. This is very different than the way most people view the world. Most people insist that respect has to be earned, and with many, I have come to observe, earning it is no easy task! "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

15 " Neverwinter Wood. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

17 " half-ling "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

18 " Escape was impossible. Victory even more so. Wulfgar’s only thought and desire at that moment was to be spared the indignity and anguish of lycanthropy. Then Drizzt entered the room. "

― , The Halfling's Gem (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #6)

19 " That did not go well,” LaValle said when Entreri had left. “It went splendidly!” Pook disagreed. "
