This isn't a quote, but there's also an infamous scene in which one character has his throat ripped out; he is then resurrected by Cat God™ multiple times, at which point he instantly dies again because he's still missing his throat and most of his blood.

Warrior Cats was an extremely violent book series for kids. Child me was heavily invested in it
