Sojourn (Forgotten Realms: The Dark Elf Trilogy, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #3)

by R.A. Salvatore

oes anything in all the world force a heavier weight upon one’s shoulders than guilt?

Conscience does not always adhere to rational judgment.

There is one other point to be made about that truth: Evil creatures cannot sing.

There is a wide world out there, my friend, full of pain, but filled with joy as well. The former keeps you on the path of growth, and the latter makes the journey tolerable.

Dread is a strange emotion, a culmination of too-subtle clues that brings as much confusion as fear.

Drizzt fought back many tears over the next few days, but whenever he remembered that last smile, the final peace that had come over the aged man, he reminded himself that the tears were for his own loss and not for Mooshie.

There should be a better way than the sword.
