“How terrible," said Eragon, "to die alone, separate even from the one who is closest to you."

“I have a new name for pain.
What’s that?
The Obliterator. Because when you’re in pain, nothing else can exist. Not thought. Not emotion. Only the drive to escape the pain.

A good name, then.”
― Christopher Paolini, Eldest

“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.”
