The only true guide is your heart.
Saphira
If I drank that much mead it would kill me!
Eragon
That's why you're not a dragon.
Saphira
I will fight when needed, revel when there's an occasion, mourn when there is grief, and die if my time comes...but I won't let anybody use me against mt will.
Eragon
I have skills!
Eragon
Should I kill him?
Eragon
I was no more resposible for my conduct than if I were drunk.
Eragon
You donÃt know what it is to reach my age, look back, and realize that you donÃt remember much of it: then to look forward and know that many years still lie ahead of you...
Brom
Well, then... if you do, come tell me. I am most interested in this trader who pretends to know so much about dragons.
Brom
Anyway, I'm not going to stay behind while some stripling gets to run around with a dragon.
Brom
Defend yourself!
Brom
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
May the coming years bring you great happiness.
Brom
There's a reason why we're born with brains in our heads, not rocks.
Brom
And now for the greatest adventure of all.
