The future will be what it will, and fretting about it will only make your fears more likely to come true.
Christopher Paolini
Image
If any honor existed in war, it was in fighting to protect others from harm
Christopher Paolini
Image
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.

From the inheritance series book one Eragon. Broom The sands of time cannot be stopped years pass whether we will them or not, but we can remember.......what has been lost may yet live on in memories, that which you will hear is imperfect and fragmented yet treasure it for without you it does not exist.

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.

When someone refuses to tell me a certain piece of information, it only makes me that much more determined to find out the truth. I hate being ignorant. For me, a question unanswered is like a thorn in my side

Never ask an elf for help they might decide your better off dead, eh? (Orik) (Eldest) (Page 207)
Christopher Paolini
Image
The name, his true name, was weaker and more flawed than he would have liked, and he hated himself for that, but there was also much to admire within it, and the more he thought about it, the more he was able to accept the true nature of his self. He was not the best person in the world, but neither was he the worst.

It’s better to be sworn to an honest fool than to a lying scholar

They have not the heart for this battle. So think of your families, think of your homes, and remember it is they you are fighting for.

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.

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.

I warn you, Eragon, beware of whom you fall in love with, for fate seems to have a morbid interest in our family.

I'm afraid I've degenerated into a bibliophile.

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.
