Christopher Paolini Quotes

I'm a team player. But I will say that I've never been a 'yes man' in my life.

Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.
