More quotes by Christopher Paolini
The songs of the dead are the lamentations of the living.
Christopher Paolini
Atra esterni' ono thelduin Mor' rana li'fa unin hjarta onr Un du evari'nya ono varda (May good fortune rule over you peace live in your heart may the stars watch over you)
Christopher Paolini
You cannot miss what you have never had.
Christopher Paolini
No-one can function properly without occasional peace and quiet.
Christopher Paolini
It’s better to be sworn to an honest fool than to a lying scholar
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
It is foolish to conjure up woe where none exists.
Christopher Paolini
The trick is to find happiness in the brief gaps between disasters.
Christopher Paolini
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.
Christopher Paolini

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
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
It is an overactive imagination that turns men into cowards, not a surfeit of fear, as many believe
Christopher Paolini
I warn you, Eragon, beware of whom you fall in love with, for fate seems to have a morbid interest in our family.
Christopher Paolini
I am the victor. In the end nothing else matters.
Christopher Paolini
For my love, I will wade through an ocean of blood, even if it destroys me
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
I'm afraid I've degenerated into a bibliophile.
Christopher Paolini
The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't.
Christopher Paolini
But anyone with the time and the inclination can acquire technical proficiency. To achieve greatness, though, that requires artistry. That requires imagination and thoughtfulness.
Christopher Paolini
