Christopher Paolini
No-one can function properly without occasional peace and quiet.

A hatchling, that is what you are. A hatchling struggling into the world. I may be younger than you in years, but I am ancient in my thoughts. Do not worry about these things. Find peace in where and what you are. People often know what must be done. All you need to do is show them the way — that is wisdom.

Christopher Paolini
Eragon cried out, and in his desperation he reached for Saphira and the EldunarÃ... and without meaning to, he drew from their stories of energy. And with that energy he cast a spell. It was a spell without words... His was a spell of instinct and emotion language could not contain it.
Christopher Paolini
It's better to ask forgiveness than permission. - Brom
Christopher Paolini
I warn you, Eragon, beware of whom you fall in love with, for fate seems to have a morbid interest in our family.
Christopher Paolini
Misfoutune always comes to those who wait. The trick is to find happiness in the breif gaps between distaters.
Christopher Paolini
For her, choices were simple either there was an action she could take to improve the situation, in which case she took it, or there was not, and everything else said on the subject was so much meaningless noise.
Christopher Paolini
I own a book,' he thought, delighted (Paolini 291).
Christopher Paolini
