Of the affairs of love ... my only advice is to be honest. That's your most powerful tool to unlock a heart or gain forgiveness.

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.

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

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

The trick is to find happiness in the brief gaps between disasters.

They have not the heart for this battle. So think of your families, think of your homes, and remember it is they you are fighting for.

Leave the dead to the Earth. They are not for us. - Valdr
