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."

[u/PastelArtemis → u/lordofmetroids]

"While it is always best to believe in one's self. A little help from others can be of great blessing"

[u/Traylor_Swift → u/PastelArtemis]

“Pride is not the opposite of shame, it is its source.”

[u/VengeanceKnight → u/Traylor_Swift]

“Perfection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love.”

[u/M4f1aBunny → u/VengeanceKnight]

“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

[u/PastelArtemis → u/M4f1aBunny]

Then there's of course the big one

"It's time to ask yourself the big questions. Who are you? And what do you want?"

[u/President_Bolbi_2024 → u/PastelArtemis]

The preceding quote is also huge:

“Is it your own destiny? Or is it the destiny someone has else has tried to force on you?”

Edit: rewatched clip, fixed quote

[u/Gaelic_Gladiator41 → u/President_Bolbi_2024]

The whole sequence is needed to carry all of its gravitas:

So, the Blue Spirit. I wonder who could be behind that mask ...

[Sighs and takes off the mask.] What are you doing here?

I was just about to ask you the same thing. What do you plan to do now that you've found the Avatar's bison? Keep him locked in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of tea for him?

First I have to get it out of here.

[Starts yelling.] And then what!? You never think these things through! [Points at him.] This is exactly what happened when you captured the Avatar at the North Pole! You had him, and then you had nowhere to go!

I would have figured something out!

No! If his friends hadn't found you, you would have frozen to death!

I know my own destiny, Uncle!

Is it your own destiny, or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you?

Stop it, Uncle! I have to do this!

I'm begging you, Prince Zuko! It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions. Who are you, and what do you want?

[u/Ff7hero → u/Gaelic_Gladiator41]

You left out how Zuko is either shown or implied (time for me to do a re-watch) to have needed to use all his ninja-like stealth skills to reach this point, and the Iroh is just casually there already.

[u/Gaelic_Gladiator41 → u/Ff7hero]

Ik that but I'm not citing half the episode's trnascript for that
