Frases de Christopher Paolini

página 4

“Primeiro que tudo, não deixem que ninguém vos domine o corpo ou a mente. Tenham cuidado para que os vossos pensamentos permaneçam libertos. Podemos ser livres e, ainda assim, estar mais presos do que um escravo. Ouçam os homens mas não lhes dêem os vossos corações. Demonstrem respeito pelos homens de poder, mas não os sigam cegamente. Julguem com lógica e com razão, mas não comentem.
Não considerem ninguém vosso superior, seja qual for a sua posição ou posto na vida. Tratem todos com justiça ou eles procurarão vingança. Tenham cuidado com o vosso dinheiro. Mantenham-se fiéis às vossas convicções, e os outros ouvir-vos-ão.
Quanto às questões do amor… o meu único conselho é que sejam honestos. Essa é a vossa arma mais forte para destrancar um coração ou para obter perdão.”
