Why?' - Nasuada 'You know why' - Murtagh
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
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
You shouldn't let him hit you so much observed saphira Yes I realize that' he growled. Do you want me to knock him over for you? No...not today.
Christopher Paolini
Perhaps not one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth, and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.
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.
