Never ask an elf for help they might decide your better off dead, eh? (Orik) (Eldest) (Page 207)
Christopher Paolini
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
It is better to ask for an apology than to ask for permission.
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.

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
In El-harím, there lived a man, a man with yellow eyes. To me, he said, Beware the whispers, for they whisper lies. Do not wrestle with the demons of the dark, Else upon your mind they'll place a mark Do not listen to the shadows of the deep, Else they haunt you even when you sleep.
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
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
Of course you like him everyone enjoys flattery.
Christopher Paolini
Do not become so attached to any one belief than you cannot see past it to another possibility. Brom to Eragon
Christopher Paolini
Ah, pay no heed if your enemies laugh. They'll not be able to once you lop off their heads.
Christopher Paolini
My heart died a while back. [Eragon]
Christopher Paolini
Eragon cried out, and in his desperation he reached for Saphira and the Eldunarí... 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
With her jaws and talons, Saphira tore through an Urgal.
