A place where we are responsible for our own actions, where we can be kind to one another because we want to and because it is the right thing to do instead of being frightened into behaving by the threat of divine punishment. I won't tell you what to believe, Eragon. It is far better to be taught to think critically and then be allowed to make your own decisions than to have someone else's notions thrust upon you.

decided. Better yet, go back farther down the river, where the Empire can't attack you. We have to talk, Eragon. You have much to answer for. Eragon hesitated with a troubled expression, then said, I know. But not now, later. With no visible prompting, the dragon veered away from the ship and flew off to the east, vanishing in the haze over the Burning Plains. In an awed voice, Horst said, "A Rider! A real Rider!

First, let no one rule your mind or body. Take special care that your thoughts remain unfettered. One may be a free man and yet be bound tighter than a slave. 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.

This magic, for it is magic, has rules, like the rest of the world. If you break the rules, the penalty is death. Without exception. Your deeds are limited by your strength, the words you know, and your imagination. "What do you mean by words?" asked Eragon. "More questions!" cried Brom.
