"Tigerclaw stared in disbelief. Was the life of his son dependent on an ancient medicine cat and an arrogant kittypet?"

"Every sacrifice I make is for the good of my Clan - and for the other Clans around the lake. Even if that means sacrificing myself."

"I could run farther than a hare! I could fight the fiercest fox that ever lived...I could climb the highest mountain faster than an eagle could fly."

"Brambleclaw dipped his head. 'The battle is won, he growled. 'The clearing is ours. Do you concede or shall we fight for it again?Blackstar flashed a look of burning hatred over his shoulder. 'Take it, he hissed. 'It was never worth the blood that has been spilled here today."

"There's more to being a warrior than killing. A true warrior - the best warrior - isn't cruel or mean. He doesn't claw an enemy who can't fight back. Where's the honor in that?"

"Bluestar blinked. 'There are cats who would argue that there should never have been a fifth Clan in the forest at all. Why are there four oaks at Fourtrees, if not to stand for the four Clans?'Firestar gazed up at the massive oak trees, then back at Bluestar. Fury pure as a lighting flash rushed through his body. 'Are you mouse - brained?' he snarled. 'Are you telling me SkyClan had to leave because there weren't enough trees?"

"When you set out, you were four. Six with friends who could not stay behind. Now you are one."

"I am Midnight(cats stare dumbfounded)"

"I would not have survived that dark time if it weren't for Cloudtail. He gave me another destiny, and I knew that no matter what I looked like, I would be all right. As long as Cloudtail loved me, I was no longer Lostface, but Brightheart."

"I learned a lot. Friendship and kinship matter more than adventure. Boundaries only exist in our minds. A heart can travel to the horizon without moving a paw step. And I made the best friend any cat ever had."

"I will honor my ancestors in StarClan, but not those who have ever walked in the Dark Forest. Guide my steps wisely, warriors of the past. And warriors of now."

"You idiot!' She spat, flattening her ears. 'What are you doing in my territory?'Drowning?' Replied Graystripe. 'Can't you do that in your own territory?' 'Ah, but who would rescue me there?"

"You have no understanding of the warrior code at all. What you've done here proves it. You've risked the lives of young kits... by leaving them alone here. Anything could have happened to them. They could have been lost. They could have died. My kits could have died. But you didn't just betray me. You betrayed the entire Clan. You did all this... and you never considered how it would make any of us feel. The Clan is a family, Sol. A community. And you're incapable of thinking about anyone but yourself."

"It is better to scare off a mouse than welcome a badger"

"She would have given up every Gathering from now until she went to join StarClan, if only she could have been sure that her sister was safe."

"She will not die today. I won't let her."

"A leaf cannot return to the bud - bluestar to fireheart and greystripe"

"There was a pause as Leopardstar strained to take a breath, and Mistyfoot half rose, ready to call for help. Then Leopardstar relaxed again. 'I am sorry not to have known the joy of having kits. There was a time when I thought it might happen, but it was not to be.' Her words faded away as though she was picturing something she had dreamed of long ago. 'Perhaps it was for the best. But I would have been proud to call you my daughter, Mistyfoot."

"Come on, 'he meowed to Greystripe.'Let's go home."

"He gave his life to save the thing that mattered most to him: his Clanmates, he meowed softly. 'He truly has the stars at his paws now. You will see him again, when it is time."

"A medicine cat has no time for doubt. Put your energy into today and stop worrying about the past."

"Four will Become Two, Lion and Tiger will Meet in Battle, and Blood will Rule the Forest."

"I know there's something troubling you. I'm not going to ask what it is, if you don't want to tell me. But remember that I'm your mother. Nothing you say could ever shock me or make me love you less."

"Warriors should suffer their pain silently."

"Our elders, and our elders' kin, and their kin before them, fought to keep Sunningrocks in our territory. Many of them lost their lives, giving up their last breath for stones that belong to us. Can we give up where they did not, turn tail and flee when they kept fighting so that their kits could hunt and play and bask on these rocks? Will you fight with me now, in honor of all our elders and all our unborn kits?"

"She dabbed at the surface of the water with one paw, and the moon fluttered like silver wings before settling again as the water stilled. Letting out a faint mrrow of wonder, Half Moon dabbed again and again. However often she disturbed the surface, the moon was still there.'It doesn't give up, does it? Half Moon blinked at Jayfeather. 'It's always there, constant like the stones in this cave. Maybe we should be like the moon's reflection, holding fast whatever happens?"

"I like being on my own. I mean, I'm sure a Pack's best for some dogs, but I've walked alone since I left my Pup Pack. I can look after myself."

"Mapleshade: 'Your punishment is complete now, Crookedstar. You have lost everything.' Crookedstar: 'No, Mapleshade. You're wrong. I still have a clan that I love and am proud to lead. And now... ...now everything precious to me is here, in StarClan. My family is waiting here for me, when my ninth life has passed. It's you who have lost. You have no power over me anymore.' Mapleshade: 'I have destroyed you!' Crookedstar: 'No, Mapleshade. I still have the cats that I loved. You have nothing and no one."

"[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. On one side of her face the fur was torn away, and there was blood where her eye should have been. One ear had been shredded, and there were huge claw marks scored across her muzzle."

"Well, I am sure, for we do not achieve this by ourselves, but by the strength of StarClan within us."

"Trees don't sneak on you.' - Brook Where Small Fish Swim"

"[Fireheart] mewed, 'It's not my place to judge you.' Greystripe looked up as Fireheart went on. 'Greystripe, whatever you decide to do, I will always be your friend.'"

"I'll always be here if you need me. I may not share your faith, but I will always help you fight for what you believe in."

"I can't give up my faith in the longpaws. I understand that we can't rely on the longpaws to help us anymore. But one of us has to remember. One of us has to carry the memories for the rest of the Pack. I'll do it."

"A breeze stirred Dovewing's pelt, as is someone had walked past. She lifted her head an saw two figures standing just beyond her Clanmates. One was a badger with a narrow, striped face, the other a grotesque, hairless cat who's blind, bulging eyes saw nothing but everything. They met her gaze and nodded, just once. 'Thank you.' Dovewing heard, quieter then a sigh. 'There will be three, kin of your kin, who will hold the power of the stars in their paws. They will find a fourth, and the battle between light and dark will be won. A new leader will rise fro the shadows. This s how it always has been, and always will be.' - Rock and Midnight, The Last Hope"

"Bumblestripe: 'I think we showed them.Hazeltail: 'Showed them what? How much blood can be spilled in a pointless battle?"

"I believe in the importance of learning from what has been discovered before. And in how precious health is, and how hard I must work to preserve it in all my Clanmates. The fact that the world of signs, omens, and dreams that have hidden meanings is closed to me doesn't feel like something is missing, Mistystar. I respect what you believe. You must respect what matters to me."

"Fireheart dashed to the warrior's side. Cloudtail was standing stiff - legged, every hair in his pelt on end as if he were facing an enemy. His eyes were fixed on the limp heap of tabby fur huddled at his paws.'Why, Fireheart?' Cloudtail wailed. 'Why her?'Fireheart knew, but rage and grief made it hard to speak. 'Because Tigerstar wants the pack to get a taste of cat blood, ' he rasped. The dead cat lying in front of them was Brindleface."

"Maybe we will meet again in the paths of dreaming, but my heart tells me this is farewell."

"She's a skilled and swift fight, and I know she'll pass on her training on to you."

"You cannot live with a paw in each world."

"Perhaps that's the best way to recover, to return to the way things were before as quickly as we can. We won the Great Battle, so nothing needs to change."

"Why do Twolegs do anything? If we knew that, our lives would be a lot easier."

"Twolegs are mad. Even the smallest kit knows that."

"Loyalty is what matters, and that exists now, not in the past. Loyalty has to be proved every day, in every piece of fresh - kill brought back for the Clan, every claw mark on our enemies, every patrol, every training session."

"Loyalty is proved by what we do, not where we come from!"

"It's been so hard! she whispered. 'I don't know what our destiny is!Cloudstar bent his head toward her. 'Your destiny is what you make it, Leafstar."

"It was Tigerstar's ambition that destroyed him. If he had been willing to wait for power to come to him, he would've been the greatest leader in the forest."

"Sandgorse chose his own destiny. Why should he get to choose yours, too?"

"It's coming, a battle between Starclan and The Dark Forest and every warrior will be called upon to fight."
