Luke Skywalker: I can’t. It’s too big.

Master Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not… for my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it… makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us… and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you. Here, between you, me… the tree, the rock… everywhere. Yes… even between the land and the ship.

Luke Skywalker: You want the impossible. (Yoda lifts the ship out of water) I don’t… I don’t believe it.

Master Yoda: That is why you fail.

Luke Skywalker: Is the dark side stronger?

Master Yoda: No, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.

Luke Skywalker: How am I to know the good side from the bad?

Master Yoda: You will know… when you are calm, at peace… passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defence… never for attack.

Master Yoda: A Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression… The dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path… forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan’s apprentice.

Master Yoda: A Jedi must have the deepest commitment… the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was… what he was doing. Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things.
