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
When I saw Fäolin fall, I understood then that the true agony of war isn't being wounded yourself, it's having to watch those you care about being hurt.
Christopher Paolini

Christopher Paolini
I'm healthy as an ox. And you? To compare myself with a bovine would be both ridiculous and insulting, but I'm fit as ever, if that is what you are asking.
Christopher Paolini
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.
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
