Saphira quotes from Eragon (2006)

Saphira

We choose a leader for his heart.

Saphira

Eragon, let him die with pride...as a Dragon Rider.

Saphira

We did it...together. Eragon, no. Even you don't have a heart strong enough for both of us.

Saphira

Careful old man, only my voice is gentle.

Saphira

You're ridiculous! Hold on!

Saphira

YOU STUPID BOY!!!!!

Saphira

You're giving me no choice!

Eragon

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

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.

Saphira

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

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.

Eragon

That's the problem! I've been choosing male names. You are a she!

Eragon

"Are you Saphira?" She looked at him with intelligent eyes. Deep in his mind he felt her satisfaction.

Saphira

Yes.

Saphira

If anything happens, I'm going to pin you to my back and never let you off.

Eragon

I love you too.

Saphira

Then I will bind you all the tighter.

Saphira

Nothing. It's funny to see a hatchling like you beaten by the old one.

Saphira

Together we can cast spells that are beyond either of us.

Saphira

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

Eragon

Saphira, where are you? Let's have some fun!

Eragon

My heart died a while back.

Saphira

The worth is in the act. Your worth halts when you surrender the will to change and experience life.

Saphira

The only true guide is your heart.

Eragon

If I drank that much mead it would kill me!

Saphira

That's why you're not a dragon.

Eragon

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 my 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

Sometimes there are no answers.

Eragon

Be careful.

Saphira

You be careful.

Arya

Yesterday you were a farmboy. Today you are a hero. Tomorrow may see us together again.

Eragon

Then I'll be waiting for tomorrow.

Saphira

Tomorrow may come sooner than you think.

Eragon

We need to get closer to his heart.

Saphira

This time, rip it out of his chest!
