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.

If you don't make a few ememies now and then, you're a coward-or worse. Besides, it as worth it to see his reaction. Oh, he was angry!
- Angela to Eragon
