“Suspicion often creates what it suspects.”

“We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.”

“Gromph closed his eyes and let the logic settle. Jarlaxle was right, of course. Menzoberranzan was a place so wound up in its own intrigue that truth mattered less than suspicion, that suspicion often became a self-fulfilling prophecy, and thus, often created truth. (This applies to all of the world, I believe)”

“A lady’s success will so often be looked on with dark suspicion, while a dude’s success is looked on as his due.”

“I suspect that one of the reasons we create fiction is to make sex exciting.”

“Suspicion is a virtue as long as its object is the public good, and as long as it stays within proper bounds. ... Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.”
