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.

"This is your training." Eragon looked back at him, confused. "I don't understand." "Of course you don't," said Brom impatiently. "That's why I'm teaching you and not the other way around. Now stop talking or we'll never get anywhere.

I agree that it's important to be of a virtuous nature, but I would also contend that if you had to choose between giving a man a noble disposition or teaching him to think clearly, you'd do better to teach him to think clearly. Too many problems in this world are caused by men with noble dispositions and clouded minds.

A man rarely knows the day and hour when he will die. I could be killed any moment and there's not a blasted thing I can do about it.

If you wish to be happy,Eragon, Think not of what is to come nor of that which you have no control over but rather of the now and that which you are able to change" ~Oromis to eragon ,Brisingr~618

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
