Warrior Cats Quotes

“There’s more to being a warrior than killing. A true warrior — the best warrior — isn’t cruel or mean. He doesn’t claw an enemy who can’t fight back. Where’s the honor in that?”
― Erin Hunter, Forest of Secrets

― Erin Hunter, Night Whispers

Crookedstar: "No, Mapleshade. You're wrong. I still have a clan that I love and am proud to lead. And now... ...now everything precious to me is here, in StarClan. My family is waiting here for me, when my ninth life has passed. It's you who have lost. You have no power over me anymore."
Mapleshade: "I have destroyed you!"
Crookedstar: "No, Mapleshade. I still have the cats that I loved. You have nothing and no one.”
― Erin Hunter, Crookedstar's Promise

“So that's a fox?' Firepaw whispered. 'What an ugly muzzle!'
'You can say that again!' agreed Graypaw.

'More likely it was following you, you idiot!' hissed Graypaw.”
― Erin Hunter, Into the Wild

“Brambleclaw dipped his head. “The battle is won,” he growled. “The clearing is ours. Do you concede or shall we fight for it again?”

― Erin Hunter, Night Whispers

“Silverkit took a step forward and peered past him at Oakheart, who was standing on the far side of the clearing, watching them. Then she stared up at Crookedstar, her bright blue eyes shimmering. She was so like her mother — and like him, too, in the shape of her ears and the length of her tail. Crookedstar gazed down at her, feeling a lifetime of hope open up in front of him. For the first time that day he felt the warmth of the sun. Watch over us, Willowbreeze. We still need you.
“You’re really just training?” Silverkit mewed. “Do you promise?”
“I promise.” Crookedstar ached with joy. “I’m your father, Silverkit, and that means I will always keep my promises.”

“Sometimes, when she was still alive... I used to wonder if she'd stopped loving me. ...I thought I'd done something wrong. I thought, if I could have just been better or more like the warrior she wanted me to be, then she wouldn't have changed like she did. She wouldn't have become..." It was too hard to say. She felt Nightheart pessing against her and was grateful for his warmth.
"You didn't do anything wrong," Mothwing told her firmly.
Sunbeam steadied her breath. "Thank you for telling me." She gazed back gratefully at Mothwing. "It helps, knowing she thought of me."
She wondered if that was true. Everything that had happened with Berryheart still seemed like a bad dream. But it wasn't my fault. Sunbeam lifted her chin and tried to blink away her sadness. I can be sure of that now, can't I?”
― Erin Hunter, Star

“Curlfeather had gone away from here forever, back to the Dark Forest, without ever having acknowledged the harm she'd done. Frostpaw felt heavy with grief. Had Curlfeather always had this darkness inside of her? Was I just too stupid to know?”
― Erin Hunter, Star

“Did you think I couldn't hurt you?" Frostpaw darted behind him. If a cat can't stand, they can't fight! She sliced his heel, feeling her claws break flesh, carve muscle, tear sinew. Splashtail jerked around with a screech, but not before she sliced his other heel. He staggered back, hind legs collapsing beneath him.”
― Erin Hunter, Star

“I will do my best. I will always do my best.

- Moth Flight”

“...grief pierced her heart so sharply it took her breath away. Why couldn't Berryheart have felt the same way? Why did she have to be so sure when it hurt so many cats? When it hurt me? She swallowed back the lump rising in her throat. Why wasn't she just happy that I was happy?”
― Erin Hunter, Star

“Did you think I couldn't hurt you?" - Frostpaw”
― Erin Hunter, Star

“We should post a patrol at the border,” Sandstorm declared,
“and attack them next time they cross.”
Firestar glanced at his mate, narrowing his eyes. “I know
how you feel, Sandstorm. But that’s not the best way to deal
with this. I want to avoid bloodshed if we can.”
Sandstorm’s hackles rose. “They’re stealing our food!”
“And we’re not going to let them get away with it,” Firestar
insisted. “But there’s no point rushing into battle before we
know what’s going on.”
Sandstorm glared back. “Don’t you fight anyone anymore?”
“I’ll fight if I have to!” Firestar held her gaze. “But I won’t
spill blood if reason can solve the problem.”
― Erin Hunter, Eclipse

“Can we go and meet him?" Tiny Branch asked excitedly. Clear Sky flicked his tail. "You're not old enough to leave camp." Dew Petal rolled her eyes. "You always say that!" "We get older everyday," Flower Foot argued. "When will we be old enough?”
― Erin Hunter, Path of Stars

“I have traveled so far and loved so much, and yet I am still following the Sun Trail, heading for my new hunting grounds."

“One of the spindly twigs jutting from the trunk scratched Moth Flight's belly as she leaped after him. She winced as she landed. "Are you hurt?" Sun Shadow halted. "Just a scratch." Moth Flight didn't care. Grazed flesh hurt far less than the loss of Micah. "Get Pebble Heart to look at it when we get back." Sun Shadow started walking again. "I might find some horsetail and dock while we're out. That should stop it from getting infected." Moth Flight hesitated as Micah's words flashed in her mind. If you chew dock leaves and horsetail stems into a paste, you can smear it deep into a wound. Fresh grief swept over her.”
― Erin Hunter, Moth Flight's Vision
