Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) Quotes

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.
