More quotes by Christopher Paolini
The monsters of the mind are far worse than those that actually exist.
Christopher Paolini
I need no master to punish me in order to behave as I ought. If I did, I would be no more than a child who obeys his father's rules only because he fears the whip, and not because he actually means good.
Christopher Paolini
And the ship sailed onward, gliding serenely down the moonlit river toward the dark lands beyond.
Christopher Paolini
It is an overactive imagination that turns men into cowards, not a surfeit of fear, as many believe
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
Though they live far from the coast, they retain a great fascination and passion for the ocean. The sound of crashing waves, the smell of salt air, it affects them deeply and has inspired many of their lovliest songs. There is one that tells of this love, if you want to hear it.
Christopher Paolini
Because you can't argue with all the fools in the world. It's easier to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention.
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
...life is in Fate's hands now. You made your choice to stay... it's too late to change that, so stop agonizing over it.... You're making my scales itch. Saphira, from Eragon
Christopher Paolini
If you don't make a few ememies now and then, you're a coward-or worse. Besides, it as worth it to see his reaction. Oh, he was angry! - Angela to Eragon
Christopher Paolini
Eragon cried out, and in his desperation he reached for Saphira and the EldunarĂ... 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
When I saw Fäolin fall, I understood then that the true agony of war isn't being wounded yourself, it's having to watch those you care about being hurt.
Christopher Paolini
Why?' - Nasuada 'You know why' - Murtagh
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
Until we invent telepathy, books are our best choice for understanding the rest of humanity.
Christopher Paolini
Sword, I name thee Brisingr! And with a sound of rushing wind the blade burst into flame, an envelope of sapphire-blue fire writhing about the razor-sharp steel.
Christopher Paolini
Find peace in where and what you are.
Christopher Paolini
Into the sky to win or die.
Christopher Paolini
Treat all fairly or they will seek revenge.
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.
