Aang Quotes

Aang (to Zuko): A lot of the time, when I was supposed to be meditating, I was actually sleeping. I always got caught. Probably didn’t help that I snored.

Kuruk: Yes, there are times when the Avatar must resort to force and intimidation, but in addition to being a warrior, the Avatar must also be a diplomat.

Aang: So we can solve the world’s problems without hurting anyone?

Kuruk: We can try, but there are consequences if we fail. Painful… consequences.

Aang: I thought you’d all be like that. Aren’t Avatars incarnations of each other?

Kuruk: We share the same spark, but we are our own people.

Aang: Can we talk about it when I get back?

Gyatso: Of course. You should hurry. Koh will feed again before too long.

Aang: Right. Once I save my friends, we’ll have more time. (leaves)

Gyatso: Time. Time is a funny thing. The past, the future, it all gets mixed up. There’s only one way to keep it straight. It’s by remembering what really matters.

Aang: What if I do what you say, and it all just becomes worse?

Avatar Kyoshi: It will. Your very presence in this world will make things worse. At first, both sides will fight harder because the Avatar has returned. Hope does not come without a cost.

Aang: What if I hurt someone along the way?

Avatar Kyoshi: And how many have already been hurt because you haven’t been here? Run away from your responsibilities again, and even more will be hurt! Being the Avatar means putting your duties above all else. Even your life!

Aang (to Yukari): Where I’m from, people help each other. I know I don’t belong here. That’s something I’ve been feeling a lot lately. But if you can help me, if I can learn to be the Avatar, maybe I could bring the place I knew, a world where people were happier, back.
