Without fear there cannot be courage.

Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. There is only now.

All great fighting is the same, Eragon, even as all great warriors are the same. Past a certain point, it does not matter whether you wield a sword, a claw, a tooth or a tail. It is true, you must be capable with your weapon, but anyone with the time, and the inclination can acquire technical proficiency. To achieve greatness, though, that requires artistry. That requires imagination and thoughtfulness, and it is those qualities that the best warriors share, even if, on the surface, they appear completely different.

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

I've never been helpless, I just have powerful enemies

He who stands like a pilar dies in battle. He who bends like a reed is triumphant!

I'm afraid I've degenerated into a bibliophile.
