Beware the engineers of society, I say, who would make everyone in all the world equal. Opportunitty should be equal, must be equal, but achievement must remain individual. - Drizzt Do'Urden

You view the gods as entities without," Montolio tried to explain. "You see them as physical beings trying to control our actions for their own ends, and thus you, in your stubborn independance, reject them.

Their deaths usually come from the front." -Drizzt Do'Urden
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.
Artemis Entreri: Do not underestimate Jarlaxle. Many have; they all are dead.
The gods of the realms are many and varied -- or they are the many and varied names and identities tagged onto the same being. I know not -- and care not -- which.
There is a difference between finding trouble in your path and going out of your way searching for it.” -Jacen Solo
Never seem to have a Death Star lying around when you need one.” -Han Solo
