Kaleipus: Amazing. I see so much change in your eyes. You aren't the woman I faced ten years ago. You aren't that warrior. Let him go, Xena. He's got a family and a home here. He's not your son anymore.
Xena: Are you telling me this for my good or yours?
Kaleipus: For his... and mine. For nine years, Solan has been my son. I love him more than my very life and the thought of losing him... You can't possibly know what that feels like.
Xena: Do you know what it's like to be a mother without her child?

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?

Kryptos: Xena?! Two Xena's?!
Xena: That's right, makes you want to cry like a baby, doesn't it?

Lao Ma: Heaven endures and the Earth lasts a long time because they do not live for themselves. Therefore she who would live a long time should live for others, serve others.

Lao Ma: Nothing is as soft as water. Yet, who can withstand the raging flood?

Lao Ma: The entire world is driven by a will, blind and ruthless. In order to transcend the limitations of that world, you need to stop willing, stop desiring, stop hating.

Lao Ma: To conquer others is to have power. To conquer yourself is to know the way.

Leah: Heathens to the left of me, infidels to the right! Tremendous! Next thing is you will be telling me you're not virgins! (Xena and Gabrielle look sheepishly at her)
(Leah gasps in astonishment)
Gabrielle: I was married at the time.
Leah: We all have our little excuses, hmm?
Gabrielle: (to a smirking Xena) Were you?

Lucifer: Aren't you two inspiring? Michael and Raphael, chief warrior angels of the Chief himself, quaking like a couple of frightened children.
Michael: You're very sure of yourself, aren't you?
Lucifer: I'm sure of both my faith and my devotion, which has fueled my speedy ascent through the hierarchy. A climb that will continue with a promotion to Seraphim.
Michael: And how do you plan to do that?
Lucifer: By throwing Xena down into Hell myself.
Michael: You realize Xena has the power to destroy angels.
Lucifer: She will use that power unless I send her to Hell.
Michael: Very well. Proceed.
[Raphael and Michael look at each other after Lucifer leaves]
Raphael: He just may be the right one for the job.
Michael: He may be perfect.

Lucifer: I'm still hot for you, Xena. Only now, I'm bigger, stronger, and more powerful than ever.
Xena: That doesn't begin to make up for the attributes you lost. [shows him his reflection]
Lucifer: What? What have you done to me?
Xena: Only what I suspect Michael wanted all along -- to put you in touch with your inner demon. Your kingdom awaits!

M'lia: You have a destiny Xena, but you have to choose it.

Maddie: Look, Marco taught me the hypnosis technique. And I never thought I would hurt anyone. Now I'm responsible for getting you two blown up. This is a karmic catastrophe. I'm going to come back as a worm, a cockroach. No, a TV evangelist.
Season 5

Man: Looking for the man of your dreams?
Xena: Yep.:[Punches him in the stomach] You're not him.

Maphias: You tell me. First, it was Cortese's attack, then the town's reconstruction. I'm warning you, Xena. You keep putting me off like this, and I'm liable to give up-- in ten or fifteen years.

Marga: Are you challenging me?
Gabrielle: If it comes to that, I am challenging you.
