Amazing Quotes
Kender are the true innocents of this world. They remind us that we spend a great deal of time and energy worrying about things that are really not very important.”—Par-Salian, Soulforge
"Hope is the denial of reality. It is the carrot dangled before the draft horse to keep him plodding along in a vain attempt to reach it." –Raistlin Dragons of Autumn Twilight
“We’ll go out through the kitchen.”—Tanis Half-elven, Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Summer Flame
“It’s the sensible, logical thing to do, of course, which is why we don’t do it.” –Tanis, Dragons of Autumn Twilight
"'You know, Flint,' the kender ((Tas)) said seriously, 'my people don't fear death. In a way we look forward to it- the last big adventure. But I think I'd feel badly about leaving this life. I'd miss my things' -he patted his pouches- 'and my maps, and you and Tanis. Unless' he added brightly, we all go to the same place when we die.'
Flint had a sudden vision of the happy-go-lucky kender lying cold and dead. He felt a lump of pain in his chest and was thankful for the concealing darkness. Clearing his throat, he said huskily, 'If you think I'm going to spend my afterlife with a bunch of kender, you're crazier than Raistlin.'"
"'Raistlin! You have on black robes! How wonderful! Can I touch them? Oh, all right. You needn't glare at me like that. It's just that they look so soft. Say, does this mean you're truly bad now? Can you do something evil for me, so I can watch? I know! I saw a wizard summon a demon once. Could you do that? Just a small demon? You could send him right back. No?' Tas sighed in disappointment."
"'Palin, you must not speak like that!' Laurana said sternly. 'So we thought in the dark days before the War of the Lance. I remember Raistlin saying something to the effect that hope was the carrot dangled before the nose of the cart horse to fool him into plodding forward. Yet we did plod forward and, in the end, we were rewarded.'
'We were,' said Tas. 'I ate the carrot.'" "
Tanis paid the fine levied on those who 'knowingly and willingly associate with kender'"(224)
((After Tanis bails Tas out of jail))
"'I don't think Raistlin liked kender much. He tried to murder me once, which gave me a sort of hint as to his true feelings.'" (195) ((Tas))
'I made a promise. I never thought about it before, but a promise isn't something you make with your mouth. You make a promise with your heart. Every time you break a promise, your heart breaks a little until pretty soon you have cracks running all through it. I think, all in all, it's better to be squished by a giant.'" (593)
Fizban talking to a tree...
"I say, did you hear me?" The old man shook a worn walking stick at the oak. "I said move it and I meant it! I was sitting on that rock" -he pointed to a boulder- "enjoying the rising sun on my old bones when you had the nerve to cast a shadow over it and chill me! Move this instant. I say!" The tree did not respond. It also did not move. "I won't take any more of your insolence!" The old man began to beat on the tree with his stick. "Move or I'll - I'll -" "Someone shut that looney in a cage!" Fewmaster Toede shouted, galloping back from the front of the caravan. "Get your hands off me!" the old man shreiked at the draconians who ran up and accosted him. He beat on them feebly with his staff until they took it away from him. "Arrest the tree!" he insisted. "Obstructing sunlight! That's the charge!"
"Uh. Fizban, he said. Your hats on fire." -- Tasslehoff Burrfoott talking to Fizban.
Tas: How are you going to find out anything if you're not curious?
Tas: You're not supposed to be curious about home! Home isn't supposed to change. It just stays there, waiting for you to come back. Home is someplace you say 'My, this looks just like it did when I left!' not 'My, this looks like six million dragons flew in and wrecked the joint!' Home is not a place for adventures, Caramon!"
"Sometimes it hurts to care, doesn't it, Caramon? But it's better than being empty inside."
"Most of us walk in the light and the shadow, Tasslehoff, but there are the chosen few who walk this world, carrying their own light to brighten both day and night."

Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.
I made it this far, believing in the memories we shared.
This isn't happening! It's too cruel!
A memory is something that is consciously recalled, right? That's why sometimes, it can be mistaken or wrong. It's different from a memory locked deep within your heart.
People have many things pent up inside of themselves. So many things they can never forget. Strange, isn't it?
This day will never come again, so let me have this moment.

... ... Everybody, this is Squall. How's everyone doing? You're all probably too tired to even stand up after all the fighting. But I want everyone to listen to me... We still have a chance to win, and I need your help. This is going to be our final battle. We're going to attack them before they come in again. To do that, we're going to head straight into their Garden. So I want everyone to prepare for a major collision. Take care of all the junior classmen. Irvine, Quistis, Zell and Selphie will lead the attack into their Garden. As for everyone else, please support them if you can. SeeD was formed to fight the sorceress, at least, that's what I heard. And Garden was created to train SeeDs. So this battle is Garden's destiny and also our destiny. It's a grueling battle, and I'm sure you guys are all exhausted. But I don't want to have any regrets. I don't want anyone to look back and regret this day. So just this once, I want you guys to give everything you've got! For yourselves, and for me!
Edea
...Lowlifes. ...Shameless filthy wretches. How you celebrate my ascension with such joy. Hailing the very one whom you have condemned for generations. Have you no shame? What happened to the evil, ruthless sorceress from your fantasies? The cold-blooded tyrant that slaughtered countless men and destroyed many nations? Where is she now? She stands before your very eyes to become your new ruler. HAHAHAHAHA.

You don't need a reason to help people.
Sometimes, you can't think everything out. You have to listen to your heart.
In the end, it boils down to two simple choices. Either you do or you don't. You'd think with all the problems in this world, there'd be more answers. It's not fair... but the way things are. The choice is yours.
Why did you come with me? Only because i wanted to go with you
Vivi
I won't let you make any more instruments of murder!
Eiko
Listen to me. You should never lie to yourself.
I'm not gonna cry! I'm a grown-up now, and crying won't help one bit!
