Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

A quote from Brisingr, a book from the Eragon series....

"When I saw Fäolin fall, I understood then that the true agony of war isn't being wounded yourself, it's having to watch those you care about being hurt. It was a lesson I thought I had already learned during my time with the Varden when, one after another, the men and women I had come to respect died from swords, arrows, poison, and old age. The loss had never been so personal, however, and when it happened, I thought, 'Now I must surely die as well.' For whatever danger we had encountered before, Fäolin and I had always survived it together, and if he could not escape, then why should I?"  ~Arya

Just saying.
