Notable Quotes
Your goddess has no dominion here.
The fire came from the mountain when I was little; burnt our forest. My people cried for help, but Eywa did not come. So I went to the fire, and I learned its way.
I am the fire! By my hand, my people grow strong!
We do not bend down and die just because Eywa turns her back on us! We turn our back on Eywa!
This is the only pure thing in this world.
