"There is truth, my boy. But the doctrine you desire, absolute, perfect dogma that alone provides wisdom, does not exist. Nor should you long for a perfect doctrine, my friend. Rather, you should long for the perfection of yourself. The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught."
"We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are. Sane or insane. Saints or sex addicts. Heroes or victims. Letting history tell us how good or bad we are. Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it's our job to invent something better."
"People cannot turn you into a foot mat if you clearly know your true self-worth."
"[Fireheart] was interrupted by a screech from Cloudtail. 'Fireheart! Fireheart, Brightpaw isn't dead!'Fireheart spun around and raced across the clearing to crouch beside Brightpaw. Her white - and - ginger fur, which, she had always kept so neatly groomed, was spiky with drying blood.

"But you have to sacrifice yourself for YOURSELF, too."
"My worth changes with every choice I make and every action I take. I can choose myself to uselessness or to being valuable."
"Black Girls. Always remember: It's so easy, and it takes very little effort, to be like the next person. Don't insult yourself like that. Be yourself! Walk YOUR walk. Talk YOUR talk. Be uniquely YOU in everything that you do. A confident woman who has a strong sense of self is quite beautiful. Allow your light to shine from the inside out. Self - love is the greatest love of all. Love, respect, and be good to yourself, first! You matter! You count! And you're important, too!"
