What wisdom can I give people that they haven’t already learned? What feats can I achieve that an army couldn’t do better? It’s insanity! - Eragon to Saphira (pg. 429)
A hatchling, that is what you are. A hatchling struggling into the world. I may be younger than you in years, but I am ancient in my thoughts. Do not worry about these things. Find peace in where and what you are. People often know what must be done. All you need to do is show them the way- that is wisdom. As for feats, no army could have given the blessing you did. - Saphira to Eragon (pg.429)
It’s overwhelming. I feel as if I am living in an illusion, a dream where all things are possible. Amazing things do happen, I know, but always to someone else, always in some far-off place and time. - Eragon to Saphira (pg. 430)
"You don’t know what it is to reach my age, look back, and realize that you don’t remember much of it: then to look forward and know that many years still lie ahead of you…" - Brom (pg. 275)
Wind howled through the night, carrying a scent that would change the world. (pg. 1)
After all, how can a mere dragon expect to tell a man like yourself what to do? In fact, everyone should stand in awe of your brilliance of finding the only dead end. - Saphira to Eragon (pg. 190)
Foolishness - Saphira to Eragon (pg. 190)

That's the problem! I've been choosing male names. You are a she! - Eragon to Saphira (pg. 58)
"Are you Saphira?" She looked at him with intelligent eyes. Deep in his mind he felt her satisfaction. Yes. - Eragon and Saphira (pg. 59)
"Well, then... if you do, come tell me. I am most interested in this trader who pretends to know so much about dragons." - Brom (pg. 69)
Fire! Enemies! Death! Murderers! - Saphira (pg. 70)
"Anyway, I'm not going to stay behind while some stripling gets to run around with a dragon" - Brom (pg. 97)
"Defend yourself!" barked Brom, standing. - Brom (pg. 114)
Nothing. It's funny to see a hatchling like you beaten by the old one. - Saphira
Listen closely and I will tell you two things. When the time comes and you need a weapon, look under the roots of the Menoa tree. Then, when all seems lost and your power is insufficient, go to the rock of Kuthian and speak your name to open the Vault of Souls. - Solembum (pg. 206)
"Whether you serve Shade, Urgal or some twisted fiend I've not heard of, I have no wish to parley with him." - Eragon (pg. 232)
"Keep your offer and tell your master that crows can eat his entrails for all I care!" - Eragon (pg. 232)
Saphira, where are you? Lets have some fun! - (pg. 241)
"You aren't the only enemies the Ra'zac have. I was tracking them." - Murtagh (pg. 268)
Together we can cast spells that are beyond either of us. - Saphira (pg. 269)
"Once upon a time that was true... but no more. When I was young... younger than you are now, I was chosen... chosen by the Riders to join their ranks. While they trained me, I became friends with another apprentice... Morzan, before he was a Forsworn. But then he betrayed us to Galbatorix... and in the fighting at Doru Areaba - Vroengard's city - my young dragon was killed. Her name... was Saphira." - Brom (pg. 274)
"May the coming years bring you great happiness." - Brom (pg. 275)
My heart died a while back. - Eragon (pg. 283)
"Farwell Eragon, rider of dragons...my life is in your hands." - Arya to Eragon (pg.341)
He bent down and tugged off the glove on his right hand. Laying his palm on the babe's brow, he intoned, "Atra gulai un ilian tauthr ono un atra ono waise skolir fra rauthr." The words left him unexpectedly weak, as if he used magic. He slowly pulled the glove back on and said to the woman, "That is all I can do for her. If any words have the power to forestall tragedy, it will be those."
"Thank you, Argetlam," she whispered, bowing slightly. She started to cover the baby again, but Saphira snorted and twisted until her head loomed over the child. The woman grew rigid; her breath caught in her chest. Saphira lowered her snout and brushed the baby between the eyes with the tip of her nose, then smoothly lifted away.
A gasp ran through the crowd, for on the child's forehead, where Saphira had touched her, was a star-shaped patch of skin as white and silvery as Eragon's gedwey ignasia.
"If anything happens, I'm going to pin you to my back and never let you off." "I love you too." - Eragon and Saphira (pg 174)
"No hunter of the sky should end his days as prey. Better to die on the wing than pinned to the ground." - Saphira
Knowing is independent of being. I did not know you existed before you bumbled in here and ruined my nap. Yet that doesn't mean you weren't real before you woke me. - Solembum (pg. 200)
"Why are you here?" The Shade looked at him with contempt in his red eyes and smiled. "To gloat, of course. What use is a victory if one cannot enjoy it?" - Eragon and Durza (pg. 298)
"There's a reason why we're born with brains in our heads, not rocks." - Brom
"My mind is the only sanctuary that has not been stolen from me. Men have tried to breach it before, but I've learned to defend it vigorously, for I am only safe with my innermost thoughts." - Murtagh (pg. 405)
"You are an enigma, Eragon, a quandary that no one knows how to solve." - Ajihad (pg. 407)
"Oaths betrayed, souls killed, eggs shattered! Blood everywhere. Murderers!" - Saphira (pg. 71)
"I met Murtagh earlier....he's anxious to speak with you. He seemed lonely; you should visit him." - Nasuada
