Christopher Paolini
"First, let no one rule your mind or body. Take special care that your thoughts remain unfettered... . Give men your ear, but not your heart. Show respect for those in power, but don't follow them blindly. Judge with logic and reason, but comment not. Consider none your superior whatever their rank or station in life. Treat all fairly, or they will seek revenge. Be careful with your money. Hold fast to your beliefs and others will listen."

"أولاً، لا تدع أحداً يحكم عقلك أو جسدك. واحرص كل الحرص على أن تظل أفكارك طليقة لا يقيدها شيء. أنصت للناس، ولكن لا تمنحهم قلبك. أظهر الاحترام لأصحاب السلطة، ولكن لا تتبعهم اتباع الأعمى. احكم بالمنطق والعقل، ولكن لا تعلق. لا تعتبر أحداً أرفع منك مهما علا شأنه أو مكانته في الحياة. عامل الجميع بعدل، وإلا سعوا للانتقام. كن حذراً في مالك. تمسك بمعتقداتك، وسيصغي إليك الآخرون."
Christopher Paolini

"To help you fill in the details of the world you are creating, imagine that your characters inhabit a real world. Daydream what it would be like to be there.

"As Roran watched, the man's arms, neck, and chest shriveled, and his bones appeared in sharp relief-from the bowlike curve of his collarbones to the hollow saddle of his hips, where his stomach hung like an empty waterskin.
