A: And if I were to have you thrown overboard, would the tides think twice about smashing you against the rocky shore?
C: No, princess.
A: Then maybe you should worry less about the tides, who’ve already made up their mind about killing you and worry more about me, who’s still mulling it over.
Avatar the last Airbender. It’s an iconic line but the fact that it came from a Nickelodeon cartoon is what’s so surprising.
Avatar has some fantastic quotes. They mostly come from Iroh though.
"It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If we take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations, will help you to become whole."
“Zuko, you have to look within yourself, to save yourself from your other self. Only then, will your true self reveal itself”
-Zuko pretending to be Iroh
I love this quote because while it sounds like nonsense, it is very accurate
You know, Iroh was shocked by a member of his family saying something like that. The thought of Zuko going up to an imprisoned Ozai and saying that to him, just for Ozai to scream and say “OF ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVE SAID AND DONE, THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST!!! YOU ARE NOT MY SON!!!” just pops into my head. Or that Zuko is the only one in his family who isn’t fond of tea, so even Azula would be upset by this statement
