Terreis: It's a man's world, Gabrielle. Not because it should be, but because we let them have it.

Toris: What are you doing?
Gabrielle: I'm listening with my body. See, Xena says that you have to listen to the attack before you see it. She's just.. She's amazing! I mean, I learned so much about inner strength just from watching her.

Toris:You murdering harpy!

Ursena: You know what I've spent the last two years asking myself? How can that murdering bitch, Xena, send people away to be punished? You never had to pay for your crimes. That's always bothered me.
Xena: Then we have something in common. It's always bothered me too.

Varia: Don't you miss it? The knot in your stomach as you prepare for war.
Eve: The quiet after a tough battle?
Varia: Yeah.
Eve: Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat. Death so close, then suddenly driven away...no, I don't miss it.

Varia: I've only seen one warrior do that move. I knew I recognized you from someplace. You're Livia, Bitch of Rome.

Varia: Mommy won't save you this time.
Eve: "If that's my destiny, so be it."

Varia: You alright?
Eve: Yeah.
Varia: You took care of my sister Amazons before you took care of yourself. Thank you.
Eve: My wound was a small one.
Varia: That old scar's a bad one. Take a look at this.[shows Eve a thick scar on her shoulder]
Eve: Wow.
Varia: A Roman short sword. The man who did it died before he had the time to wipe his blade.
Eve: [turns around to expose a long scar on her lower back] Gaelic spear. The man who did it, his entire regiment, his village and two neighboring villages destroyed before the sun went down.
Varia: I was right. You were a serious warrior.

Velasca: Artemis, you fake! Where were you when our nation died? Where were you when the many Amazon tribes were scattered and destroyed? Where were you when the word 'Amazon' became a joke told by old men in taverns? I was once your subject, now I'm your equal... and your enemy!

Velasca: You must have a death wish.
Callisto: You know, it's funny, I think I do.

Xena (as Ezra): Auto, Auto baby, you promised me this was gonna work. You're supposed to be the King of Thieves. My father, my father told me he was a loser and a fraud with his phony disguises and that silly mustache, but I will always love you. Oh, you gotta believe me. He put me up to this. You know how he is, with that charm of his, he's so shallow yet so persuasive. I'm not really a bad person. I just fell in love with the wrong man at the wrong time.

Xena (Quoting Lao Ma): Fill yourself with desire and see only illusion. Empty yourself of desire and understand the great mystery of things.

Xena/Callisto: 'Cause when you think of the dead...
Callisto's Mother: ...the dead can hear you.

Xena/Callisto: A long time ago you told me the cycle of hate has to end and the only way to end it is through love. It's a hard lesson to learn. Callisto couldn't possibly know or understand that.

Xena: "If he's not insane, then I'm not a Fury. [morphs into Alecto]
