"(to himself, after revealing to Aang tha…" — Zuko Quote

"Earthbenders! You don't know me, but I know of you. Every child of my water tribe village was rocked to sleep with stories of the brave Earth Kingdom and the courageous earthbenders who guard its borders. Some of you may think that the Fire Nation has made you powerless. Yes, they have taken away your ability to bend, but they can't take away your courage and it is your courage they should truly fear! Because it runs deeper than any mine you've been forced to dig, any ocean that keeps you far from home. It is the strength of your hearts that make you who you are, hearts that will remain unbroken when all rock and stone has eroded away. The time to fight back is now! I can tell you the Avatar has returned! So remember your courage, earthbenders, let us fight for our freedom!"

"That's how Sokka started. Now look at him! He thinks he's an Earthbender!"

"With Roku gone and the Great Comet returning, the timing was perfect to change the world. I knew the next Avatar would be born an Air Nomad so I wiped out the Air Temples, but somehow the new Avatar eluded me. I wasted the remainder of my life searching in vain. I know he's hiding out there somewhere: the Fire Nation's greatest threat, the last Airbender."

"Nice speech, Azula! It was pretty and poetic, but also scary in a good way!"

"*to Katara* Try to understand. I need to capture him to restore something I've lost. [Katara jerks her head away from Zuko] Perhaps in exchange, I can restore something you've lost."
