Dark Tide I: Onslaught Quotes “You’re telling us they used rocks to kill a star destroyer?”
-Borsk Fey’lya about the Yuuzhan Vong

Some Jedi move rocks just to prove they can move them, but the strongest Jedi don’t see any reason to move rocks when that isn’t going to solve the immediate problem.”
-Corran Horn

“Ever broken a limb?”
“My leg.”
“You remember it hurt, right?”

“But you don’t remember how much it hurt. The mind is like that. You forget the really sharp pains so you’ll continue going on. Women forget the pain of childbirth or we’d all be only children.”
-Corran Horn and Ganner Rhysode.
“As they say on Tatooine, when being hunted by a krayt dragon, you don’t have to be faster than it is, you just have to be faster than the slowest guy in the group you’re with.”

That you can’t say that, Father, tells me just how bad it really is.’
-Jacen Solo
“A preemptive strike at a target, for example, is merely proactive defense.”

-Anakin Solo
“If someone is aiming a blaster at your ally, do you raise your ligthsaber to prevent it, or do you do nothing because a Jedi isn’t supposed to take aggressive action? I mean, where’s the line, Jacen? We’re in a war for survival , and defense sometimes means having to eliminate the opposition.”
-Anakin Solo
“If actions were always judged by their consequence, we’d spend half our lives making amends.”
-Luke Skywalker
“Do you think the Yuuzhan Vong realize what they’ve accomplished? They’ve sundered the Hutts, created a schism in the senate, taken the Hapans out of the war, sabotaged the import of the Jedi. Did you have any inkling it could end this way?”
“The future isn’t fixed. It’s made up of possibilities. I saw without seeing.”
-Talon Karrde and Luke Skywalker

-Jacen Solo
“Their freedom to make choices means they are free to make wrong ones.”
-Luke Skywalker

“How many of you does it take to kill someone you call coward?”
-Jacen Solo
‘Plainly, the strength of a hundred-odd Jedi couldn’t keep the galaxy from falling to this menace. One misstep--at one critical moment, by one pivotal person--could doom everyone they’d sworn to protect. No military force could stop this invasion, because it was a spiritual battle. And if one pivotal person fell to the dark side--or even used the ravishing, terrifying power of light in a wrong way--then this time, everything they knew might slide into stifling darkness.’
-Jacen Solo
“Give us your Jeedai. All of them, without exception. Any species, any age, any stage of training. Hold them back, hide them, and you see how your worlds will be treated. But I will reward--with special gifts!--the person who brings me the Jeedai with whom I especially wish to speak. Give me Jacen Solo, alive. So that I may give him to the gods.”
-Tsavong Lah
