He who stands like a pilar dies in battle. He who bends like a reed is triumphant!
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
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

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
And the ship sailed onward, gliding serenely down the moonlit river toward the dark lands beyond.
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
Do not become so attached to any one belief than you cannot see past it to another possibility. Brom to Eragon
Christopher Paolini
Respect the past you never know how it may affect you.
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
Show respect for those in power, but do not follow them blindly.
Christopher Paolini
Heart broken-he felt a deep ache in his chest, like that of a sore muscle, and each beat of his heart pained him
