shapes who-we-are madness
Death is part of who we are. It guides us. It shapes us. It drives us to madness. Can you still be human if you have no mortal end
surrender eragon halt
What is the worth of anything we do? The worth is in the act. Your worth halts when you surrender the will to change and experience life
smart humor attention
Because you can't argue with all the fools in the world. It's easier to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention.
winning sky eragon
Into the sky to win or die.
blow mind would-be
Always it is thus with my new students, and especially with the human ones; the mind is the last muscle they train or use, and the one that they regard the least. Ask them about swordplay and they can list every blow from a duel a month old, but ask them to solve a problem or make a coherent statement and... well, I would be lucky to get more than a blank stare in return.
history people remember
People have an annoying habit of remembering things they shouldn't.
creativity sleep eye
He closed his eyes and sank into the warm dusk that separates consciosness and sleep, where reality bends and sways to the wind of thought, and where creativity blossoms in its freedom from boundaries and all things are possible.

I always say, better ask forgiveness than permission.

The future will be what it will, and fretting about it will only make your fears more likely to come true.

Nothing out of the ordinary ever occurs to me when I'm by myself. But you attract duels, ambushes, immortal enemies, obscure creatures such as the Ra'zac, long-lost family members, and mysterious acts of magic as if they were were starving weasels and you were a rabbit that wandered into their den. Saphira
luck may misfortunes
Atra gulai un ilian tauthr ono un atra ono waise skolir fra rauthr. - Let luck and happiness follow you and may you be shielded from misfortune.
journey goal matter
When you can have anything you want by uttering a few words, the goal matters not, only the journey to it.
cutting men thinking
Only men would think of cutting themselves to determine who the packleader is. Idiots.
names fire imagination
You named your sword Fire? Fire? What kind of a boring name is that? You might as well name your sword 'Blazing Blade' and be done with it. Fire indeed. Humph. Wouldn't you rather have a sword called Sheepbiter or Chrysanthemum Cleaver or something else with imagination?
