Avatar: The Last Airbender Quotes (Season 1)

Water brings healing and life. But fire brings only destruction and pain. It forces those of us burdened with its care to walk a razor’s edge between humanity and savagery. Eventually, we are torn apart.[to Katara]

Your destiny! This is incredible. You will be involved in a great battle, an awesome conflict between the forces of good and evil. A battle whose outcome will determine the fate of the whole world![Aunt Wu]Yeah, yeah, I knew that already. But did it say anything about a girl?[Aang]

You’re like my sister. Everything always came easy to her. She is a firebending prodigy, and everyone adores her. My father says she was born lucky. He says I was lucky to be born. I don’t need luck, though. I don’t want it. I’ve always had to struggle and fight and that’s made me strong. It’s made me who I am.[to Aang]

You see that? Settling feuds and making peace. All in a day’s work for the Avatar.

You rise with the moon. I rise with the sun.[to Katara]

You know what the worst part about being born over a hundred years ago is? I miss all the friends I used to hang out with. Before the war started, I used to always visit my friend Kuzon. The two of us, we’d get in and out of so much trouble together. He was one of the best friends I ever had. And he was from the Fire Nation, just like you. If we knew each other back then, do you think we could have been friends, too?[to Zuko]

Would you sit down? If we hit a bump, you’ll go flying off. What’s bugging you anyway?[Sokka]It’s what Avatar Roku said. I’m supposed to master all four elements before that comet arrives.[Aang]Well, let’s see. You pretty much mastered airbending and that only took you a hundred and twelve years. I’m sure you can master three more elements by next summer.[Sokka]

Who knows? Walking might be fun. Walking stinks! How do people go anywhere without a flying bison?

What’s the point of tests if you don’t learn anything?[to Aang]

To master the bending disciplines, you must first master discipline itself.[to Aang]

Things will never return to normal. But the important thing is, the Avatar gives Zuko hope.

Things have changed. In the past, the sages were loyal only to the Avatar. When Roku died, the sages eagerly awaited for the next Avatar to return. But he never came.[Shyu]They were waiting for me.[Aang]Hey, don’t feel bad. You’re only a hundred years late.[Sokka]
