“Love can be a terrible curse, Eragon. It can make you overlook even the largest flaws in a person's behavior.”

“How terrible," said Eragon, "to die alone, separate even from the one who is closest to you."Everyone dies alone, Eragon. Whether you are a king on a battlefield or a lowly peasant lying in bed among your family, no one can accompany you into the void.”

“A person must earn enlightenment, Eragon. It is not handed down to you by others, regardless of how revered they be.”

“Keep in mind, Eragon, that no one thinks himself a villain, and few make decisions they think are wrong. A person may dislike his choice, but he will stand by it because, even in the worst circumstances, he believes that it was the best option available to him at the time.”

“I believe, Eragon, that you are full of love and that you are looking for one who will reciprocate your affection. No shame exists in that.”

“I warn you, Eragon, beware of whom you fall in love with, for fate seems to have a morbid interest in our family.”

“If anything happens, I'm going to pin you to my back and never let you off." I love you too." - Saphira and Eragon”
