More quotes by Christopher Paolini
The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't.
Christopher Paolini
For my love, I will wade through an ocean of blood, even if it destroys me
Christopher Paolini
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. He was not the best person in the world, but neither was he the worst.
Christopher Paolini
do not worry about these things. find peace in where and what you are ~saphira to eragon page 429
Christopher Paolini
It is an overactive imagination that turns men into cowards, not a surfeit of fear, as many believe
Christopher Paolini
You must be willing to protect yourself and what you cherish, no matter what the cost.
Christopher Paolini
The monsters of the mind are far worse than those that actually exist.
Christopher Paolini
I'm afraid I've degenerated into a bibliophile.
Christopher Paolini
Personally, I had a great education. My mum was a trained teacher, a Montessori teacher, and I know that I could not have written 'Eragon' if I had gone into a public school system because I would have just been too busy attending classes and doing homework - I wouldn't have had the time to write.
Christopher Paolini
But ask yourself this Eragon: If gods exist, have they been good custodians of alagaesia? Death, sickness, poverty, tyranny and countless other miseries stalk the land. If this is the handiwork of divine beings, then they are to be rebelled against and overthrown, not given obeisance, obedience, and reverance.
Christopher Paolini
A true warrior does not fight because he wishes to but because he has to. A man who yearns for war, a man who enjoys his killing, he is a brute and a monster. 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
What is the worth of anything we do? The worth is in the act. Your worth halts when you surrender the will to change and experience life
Christopher Paolini
When you teach them-teach them not to fear. Fear is good in small amounts, but when it is a constant, pounding companion, it cuts away at who you are and makes it hard to do what you know is right.
Christopher Paolini
I took a bunch of pictures. You can see 'em on my MySpace page, along with my favorite songs and movies and things that other people have created but that I use to express my individualism.
Christopher Paolini
With her jaws and talons, Saphira tore through an Urgal.
Christopher Paolini
If he fancied her anymore, Saphira said to both Eragon and Roran, I'd be trying to kiss Arya myself. Saphira! Mortified, Eragon swatted her on the leg.
Christopher Paolini
Regardless of whether I can shift my affections to another - and the heart, as you observed, is a notoriously fickle beast - the question remains: should I?
Christopher Paolini
But anyone with the time and the inclination can acquire technical proficiency. To achieve greatness, though, that requires artistry. That requires imagination and thoughtfulness.
Christopher Paolini
If any honor existed in war, it was in fighting to protect others from harm
Christopher Paolini
Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. There is only now.
Christopher Paolini
