David Eddings Quote

Behold the Drojim Palace, King Urgit said extravagantly to Sadi, the hereditary home of the House of Urga.A most unusual structure, You Majesty, Sadi murmured.That's a diplomatic way to put it. Urgit looked critically at his palace. It's gaudy, ugly, and in terribly bad taste. It does, however, suit my personality almost perfectly.
