Xena - Warrior Princess Quotes

Gabrielle: Are you sure I was dying? Xena, the gods know that I have been tied to a cross before. You helped me then, what makes you think that this ‘vision' is different?
Xena: It was so real ... the way you looked ... the mountain in the background ... it's true, or it could be.
Gabrielle: Well, I'm not going to believe it.

Xena: It's alright, he just wants out.
Borias: Soon, soon I will see my son and I can name him.
Xena: And you can take him from me. What about us?
Borias: There is very little left of 'us' anymore, Xena. The only reason our two armies haven't crossed blades is because of a common purpose.
Xena: And what would that be? It certainly isn't Corinth, you can't convince me of that. No, there's only one reason why you stayed. You want to take this away from me.
Borias: As any father would. If my son stays here he'll become a target for your enemies. He'll see things a child should not see, and ...
Xena: He'll become like me.

Satrina: Oh Xena, the moment I realized you were in command I was ecstatic. Of all the people I have studied you were the most complex, the most brilliant of minds I have defeated thus far. You see, Xena, I never did have that much in the way of muscle, never. But, I am a survivor and I have this incredible ability to put myself in my enemies head. So when I found myself in your custody I realized this was my one chance to learn from the best. That's why I couldn't allow you to see Borias that night. Oh yes, the night your son was born, you had just taken the Santra flower potion and Borias' army attacked.

TV Show: Xena - Warrior Princess
Xena: What's the matter, you having trouble getting inside my head right now? Let me help you. You killed Borias, the man who could have changed everything for me if only I had let him. You killed the father of my child and if he had lived then maybe my son would ... you getting inside my head now?

Xena: Probably, like she said, she's a survivor.

I sneak into the treasury, take the key from one of the guards, say something like, ‘What's that over there?!' You know? Then I free you two and we walk off rich into the sunset. What do ya think?

Meg: You see those? They're stars. When I was a little girl, I used to think that all those little lights came from houses in the sky and each one of those houses had a happy family around a cozy fire, and the lights came from all the open windows. And I used to think that at every window there was a little girl just like me looking out at the other lights, and I wondered what it would be like to be one of them. Well, one day we're gonna be one of those little lights. That's a promise.

Vanessa: You killers. You kill trees, earth, all. And when we say ‘no, go from here,' you kill Pomira.

TV Show: Xena - Warrior Princess
Xena: Gabrielle, because of you, Rahl and Adiah now know that their daughter is alive and happy, and not dead like they thought. And because of you, Vanessa has two loving homes. And because of you, for the first time ever, there is peace between us and the Hor ... the Pomira.

Xena: You wanna switch? Fine. You kick butt and I'll take notes.

Gabrielle: What's up?
Xena: Us. At least, we should be. Come on, get up. We could go do some Yoga, get something to eat. We can be on the road by noon.

Naima: I don't know. I had to send her there quickly to defend herself. I was not able to tell her much before she left.
Gabrielle: Send me there.
Naima: I'm not sure that's wise.
Gabrielle: This ‘karma' that you're talking about, can you see mine? Can you see how much Xena is a part of that?

Xena: You BITCH!

Krishna: You must open up you heart to me if you are going to tap into the strength which will allow you to defeat Indrijit.
Xena: I thought that's what the prayers were for.
Krishna: That got my attention. Now you have to go one step further. You have to embrace the Way.
Xena: The Way? I've heard about the Way in Greece, Chin, Anatolia and now India. I don't get it. The Way is not for people like me.
Krishna: You're wrong. You're very close to the Way now. However, missing it by the width of a hair is the same as missing it by the height of a mountain.
Xena: That close, I don't think so. I don't have the patience of Gabrielle, the Love of Eli or the serenity of my mentor Lao Ma. I'm just an angry, ass-kicking ...
Krishna: ... warrior.
Xena: Yes, a warrior.
Krishna: You say that with disgust.
Xena: Well, it doesn't rank up there with the saints, does it?

Gabrielle: Are you sure?
Xena: Sure I'm sure. Go on, make us both happy.
Gabrielle: Thank you.
Xena: Don't mention it.
Gabrielle: Okay
Xena: Well, when I say 'Don't mention it,' I mean...you can mention it. (Sulkily) It's just a figure of speech. You don't have to take it literally. It wouldn't kill you to maybe look back or something. Aw, rats. All right, Argo, it's just you and me.

Gabrielle: I have an announcement to make. A message means nothing if no one hears it. A flower in the forest is just a plant if no one sees it.
(Cast looks around incomprehensibly)
Gabrielle: We're going to need more blood. I want more skin, I want action, I want weapons, I want battlefields with beaten bloody bodies. We're going to take this little flower and we're going to cram it down their throats for their own good.
