The truth was, Sevastyan wanted a woman of his own. A partner. A woman to love. A woman who held the mate for his leopard. That same gift his cousins had.

He was a Rider. A shadow rider. It was who he was. What he was. A rider no choice but to do what he'd been trained for from the age of two -- even before that. It was in his bones, in his blood, he couldn't live without it. He dispensed justice to those the law couldn't touch.
~ Christine Feehan

Since the new art was practiced only by Joshua (and sometimes myself), the monks called it Jew-dô, meaning the way of the Jew.
~ Christopher Moore
Resultó que a los cancerberos se les podía adiestrar, particularmente si solo se les decían cosas que iban a hacer de todos modos. («Come, Alvin. Buen chico. Ahora, haz caca. Excelente»).

See this pebble? Yes. Take it. Eragon did and stared at the unremarkable lump. It was dull black, smooth, and as large as the end of his thumb. There were countless stones like it on the trail. This is your training. Eragon looked back at him, confused. I don't understand. Of course you don't, said Brom impatiently. That's why I'm teaching you and not the other way around. Now stop talking or we'll never get anywhere.

Always it is thus with my new students, and especially with the human ones; the mind is the last muscle they train or use, and the one that they regard the least.

~ Christopher Paolini

~ Christopher Paolini
Let me tell you. The military accepts everyone who volunteers, assuming they meet the basic requirements. That means, at one end of the spectrum, you get people who would just as soon cut your throat as shake your hand. And at the other end of the spectrum, you get people so timid they wouldn't hurt a fly. And what the military does is teach both of them how and when to apply violence.
~ Christopher Paolini

the great advantage the South possessed over the North at the beginning of the rebellion. They had from thirty to forty per cent. of the educated soldiers of the Nation. They had no standing army and, consequently, these trained soldiers had to find employment with the troops from their own States. In this way what there was of military education and training was distributed throughout their whole army. The whole loaf was leavened.
