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
No-one can function properly without occasional peace and quiet.
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
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
If any honor existed in war, it was in fighting to protect others from harm
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
Until we invent telepathy, books are our best choice for understanding the rest of humanity.
Christopher Paolini
Anger has its place, but it will not serve you here, the way of the warrior is the way of knowing. Of that knowledge requires you to use anger, then you use anger, but you cannot wrest forth knowledge by losing your temper.
Christopher Paolini
Engaged in a fiery dance, their bodies were linked and seperated by the flashing blades. At times they nearly touched, taut skin only a hair's breadth away, but then momentum would whirl them apart, and they would withdraw for a second, only to join again. Their sinuous forms wove together like twisting ropes of windblown smoke.
Christopher Paolini
Having no other recourse, Roran resorted to the unexpected: he stuck his head and neck out and shouted, BAH! just as he would if he were trying to scare someone in a dark hallway.
Christopher Paolini
It is foolish to conjure up woe where none exists.
