The name, his true name, was weaker and more flawed than he would have liked, and he hated himself for that, but there was also much to admire within it, and the more he thought about it, the more he was able to accept the true nature of his self.

No matter how much glory he wins on the battlefield, that cannot erase the fact that he is no better than a rabid wolf who will turn on his friends and family as soon as his foes.
Christopher Paolini
Show respect for those in power, but do not follow them blindly.
Christopher Paolini
I have to admit, that's a remarkable bruise. You should be proud it's quite a feat to get injured in the manner you did and in that...particular...place.
Christopher Paolini
It never struck me as interesting that I didn't go to school - we had our own little world. I always thought of kids who were going to regular school as if they're the others, the separate ones.
