It is foolish to conjure up woe where none exists.
Christopher Paolini
The songs of the dead are the lamentations of the living.
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
It never struck me as interesting that I didn't go to school - we had our own little world. I always thought of kids who were going to regular school as if they're the others, the separate ones.

Christopher Paolini

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
Christopher Paolini
It's impossible to go through life unscathed. Nor should you want to. By the hurts we accumulate, we measure both our follies and our accomplishments.
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
It is better to ask for an apology than to ask for permission.
Christopher Paolini
I am not who I was,' he whispered, gripping the edges of the column, 'but I know who I am.'... 'And I won't give up.
Christopher Paolini
I am the victor. In the end nothing else matters.
Christopher Paolini
It’s better to be sworn to an honest fool than to a lying scholar
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
I have to admit, that's a remarkable bruise. You should be proud it's quite a feat to get injured in the manner you did and in that...particular...place.
Christopher Paolini
Moderation is a wiser policy than zealotry
