Gabrielle: I have an announcement to make. A message means nothing if no one hears it. A flower in the forest is just a plant if no one sees it.
(Cast looks around incomprehensibly)
Gabrielle: We're going to need more blood. I want more skin, I want action, I want weapons, I want battlefields with beaten bloody bodies. We're going to take this little flower and we're going to cram it down their throats for their own good.

Gabrielle: I just thought of something. You're a warrior princess and I'm an Amazon princess. That is going to make such a great story.

Gabrielle: I thought you said these guys were tough.
Xena: They must have had an off-day.

Gabrielle: I thought you said your brother was killed by Cortese...
Xena: No, that was my younger brother. Gabrielle, this is my older brother, Toris.
Gabrielle: Huh, you're full of surprises.
Xena: Toris has some surprises of his own. That's the mask of Cortese.
Toris: That's right. It's the only way I can get close enough to Cortese-- to kill him.

Gabrielle: I want to ask him to teach me his breathing techniques. Will you come with me?
Xena: Thanks, but I've been breathing just fine on my own for years now.

Gabrielle: I wanted to get there before Xena so that I could betray her. I wanted to betray her. I gave her everything and it had meant nothing to her. I hated her for loving someone else. I wanted her to hurt. I wanted her to be punished. And, I almost got her killed. My hatred and jealousy almost destroyed my best friend.
Ares: So, now you have the answer. The question is can you live with it?
Gabrielle: If the bowl is ever empty, so go my memories.
Ares: And the pain, all that pain.
Gabrielle: And the memories of my youth, my parents, my loves ...
Ares: ... the betrayal, the killing, the death of your child.
Gabrielle: And Xena.
Ares: Bottom line, Gabrielle, you won't miss what you never knew.

Gabrielle: I would've told her how empty my life was before she came, and all the lessons I learned...and that I love her"

Gabrielle: I'm great. I can't see but I'm good.
Xena: Try using both eyes.
Gabrielle: Oh, oh yeah that's better.
Xena: Think you can stand?
Gabrielle: You mean I'm not?

Gabrielle: I'm just an over-achieving sidekick.

Gabrielle: It's beautiful, don't you think?
Xena: Yeah, in that yucky-I'm-in-paradise kind of way.

Gabrielle: It's not you it's me. I'm just not ready for this kind of commitment. Which is probably better for you anyway because all the men I get serious about seem to wind up dead.

Gabrielle: It's very strange. In every story you tell me, this thing I'm wearing gets smaller. Is it enchanted?

Gabrielle: Life is only what you make of it.

Gabrielle: Look, my best friend is Xena, Warrior Princess and she is not going to like this forced wedding thing, if you get my drift.

Gabrielle: No, no look, you promise me. If something happens to me, you will not become a monster. There's only one way to end this cycle of hatred, and it's through love and forgiveness.
Xena: Don't you go changing, Gabrielle. I like you just the way you are. Go get some sleep.
Gabrielle: No, no, you promise me.
Xena: I promise.
