“Any time there's something so ridiculously dangerous that no rational human being would try it, they send for me.' --Garion”

“The danger is in becoming so seduced by the lexiconic that we became lexiphanes. There's no excuse for indulging in the bombastic at any time, of course.”

“Belgarath and Garion effortlessly hurdled over the driftwood and loped off into the fog. "It's going to be a wet day," Garion noted soundlessly as he ran alongside the great silver wolf."Your fur won't melt.""I know, but my paws get cold when they're wet.""I'll have Durnik make you some little booties.""That would be absolutely ridiculous, Grandfather," Garion said indignantly.”

“<...> I’venever believed there is any animal more dangerous than a human being. I never will. It’s the intelligence. It’s the mind that makes it so.”

“To try to understand another human being, to grapple for his ultimate depths, that is the most dangerous of human endeavors.”

“The thought of superhuman beings with human temptations and flaws sends a chill through me.”
