“Everything has a purpose." It was Swooper's turn to lecture the lodgers. "The sun is meant to give light.
Plants are meant to grow. We owls are meant to hunt."
"We mice are meant to hide."
"We raccoons are meant to scavenge."
"Roz, what are you meant to do?"
"I do not believe I have a purpose."
"Ha! I respectfully disagree," said Swooper. "Clearly, you are meant to build."
"I think Roz is meant to grow gardens."
"Roz is definitely meant to care for Brightbill."
"Perhaps I am simply meant to help others.”
― The Wild Robot

“You do want him to survive, don’t you?” said the goose. “Yes, I do want him to survive,” said the robot. “But I do not know how to act like a mother.” “Oh, it’s nothing, you just have to provide the gosling with food and water and shelter, make him feel loved but don’t pamper him too much, keep him away from danger, and make sure he learns to walk and talk and swim and fly and get along with others and look after himself. And that’s really all there is to motherhood!”

“Roz stood on the peak and watched the sun sink behind the ocean. She watched shadows slowly spread over the island and up the mountain-side. She watched the stars come out, one by one, until the sky was filled with a million points of light. It was the first night of the robot's life.”

“She discovered that all the different animals shared one common language; they just spoke the language in different ways. You might say each species spoke with its own unique accent.”
