You cannot miss what you have never had.

Books are my friends, my companions. They make me laugh and cry and find meaning in life.

If anything happens, I'm going to pin you to my back and never let you off." I love you too." - Saphira and Eragon

The trickster, the riddler, the keeper of balance, he of the many faces who finds life in death and who fears no evil; he who walks through doors.

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

No hunter of the sky should end his days as prey. Better to die on the wing than pinned to the ground. [Saphira]

Death is part of who we are. It guides us. It shapes us. It drives us to madness. Can you still be human if you have no mortal end

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

I'll fight when needed, revel when there's an occasion, mourn when there is greif and die if my time comes...But I will not let anyone use me against my will.

Into the sky to win or die.

I am not a victim. No matter what I have been through, I'm still here. I have a history of victory.

I hear them say "Why do I miss someone I haven't even met?"How about not missing someone because it feels like they've been with you all along?

Dream is the roadmap but hope is the guiding light in the way of life.

What saddens me most is that some poor woman out there has to be Garth's wife. And his three children -- oh, his poor three children. What a despicable human being this guy is.

What is common to many is least taken care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than what they possess in common with others.

That's where I live, a junkyard in a neighborhood of junkyards. We have three tractors from the 1940s and '50s, several old pickup trucks, and a pile of scrap metal.

I'd like to be a more consistent starter. I'd like a smoother transition from crouching to running. I have to learn to relax during a race and how to breathe.

Unless You Puke, Faint or Die, Keep Going!

...dreams were dreams and reality was reality and she felt people were better off understanding the difference.

The world belongs to the discontented.
