Twilight Quotes

“Fire will save the Clan”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“[Leafpool] waved her tail in greeting as she padded past Cloudtail and Daisy; as she left the clearing she heard Cloudtail meowing, "This time try to pretend I'm a badger and I'm going to eat your kits."
"But my kits really like you," Daisy protested.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“Squirrelflight rested her tail on his shoulder, urging him to lie still until his injuries could be treated. Brambleclaw led Stormfur and Brook up to Firestar.
The Clan leader's eyes stretched wide in surprise. "Stormfur...and Brook! What are you doing here?"
"There'll be time to explain later," Stormfur meowed. "For now, Firestar, put us to work.”

“We cannot change our destiny, we just have to have the courage to know what it is, and accept it." - Cinderpelt”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“Of course. I have made good friends in all the Clans. I've seen kits born and watched elders leave on their final journey to Silverpelt. I've made the long journey to the Clans' new home. Believe me, I wouldn't change a single day. I know it is not in your power to give me longer with my Clan. But I can't help wanting more.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“Crowfeather: Leafpool, I know you feel the same as I do. Somehow we have to be together.
Leafpool: But I'm a medicine cat, and I'm from another clan. There isn't any future for us Crowfeather.
Crowfeather: Leafpool, do you want to be with me as much as I want to be with you?
Leafpool: Yes, I do.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“With Daisy, Sorreltail, and Ferncloud all busily licking, the kits soon started to stir, letting out faint, whimpering cries. But Daisy didn’t look up until all three revived enough to nuzzle into her belly and start suckling.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“We must face our destiny. Our destiny is the path we must follow."
-Cinderpelt”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“StarClan is with you, Leafpool,” Spottedleaf murmured, and Cinderpelt added, “We will always be watching over you.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“This isn’t what I expected to find,” he meowed. “What happened?” Squirrelflight stared in disbelief. After the badger attack, she had thought nothing else could shock her, but for a heartbeat she forgot how to breathe. Gazing curiously around them, sleek furred and calm among the shattered Clan, were Stormfur and Brook.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“Crowfeather crouched beside her, his amber eyes burning as he gazed across the clearing. “You wouldn’t think he’d be so upset about the death of another Clan’s medicine cat,” Ashfur muttered into Squirrelflight’s ear. Squirrelflight didn’t say anything. She knew the gray-black warrior wasn’t just grieving for Cinderpelt.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“the reek of blood engulfed her, and she saw that the water in the lake was a blood-red tide sucking hungrily at the land. “No!” she gasped. Before all is peaceful, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“Squirrelflight wanted to wail out loud. Leafpool had lost so much too. She must have loved Crowfeather very much to give up everything for him. Would I do that for Ashfur? Squirrelflight wondered. Somehow, she didn’t think she would. For Brambleclaw? She blinked, realizing that that was a question she couldn’t answer.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“meowed. “I’ve got feelings too, just like any other cat.” “Of course you have. But a medicine cat has to control those feelings for the good of her Clan. The path we follow has its own rewards. I’ve never felt cheated by the destiny StarClan sent me.” Every word she spoke tore into Leafpool like a badger’s fangs. Fury surged inside her. “You can’t possibly understand!” she spat. “You’ve never been in love!” Cinderpelt’s blue gaze rested on her, unspoken thoughts flickering like minnows in her eyes. “It’s easy for you,” Leafpool went on bitterly. “You’ve never wanted anything else.” The medicine cat flexed her claws, and her neck fur began to rise. “How do you know what I want?” There was the hint of a snarl in her voice. “How do you know what hopes I gave up to follow the path StarClan laid down for me?” Leafpool flinched. She had never seen Cinderpelt this angry. “You’ll come back to camp with me—now!” Cinderpelt growled. “And stop this nonsense for good. It’s for your own sake, Leafpool. Meeting Crowfeather can’t be right if you have to lie and sneak around in the shadows. I haven’t spent all this time training you to be a good medicine cat for you to throw it away like this. Your Clan needs you!” “No! I won’t come!” A gale of guilt and anger swept through Leafpool. “I’ll go on seeing Crowfeather whenever I want to, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me!” Cinderpelt’s eyes flashed and she launched herself at Leafpool, claws out. Leafpool turned tail and ran.”

“Hey, Berrykit, get off!” he panted, giving the creamy-white kit a gentle cuff around the ear. “Mousekit, that tickles. And who’s got their teeth in my tail?” He rolled over, taking the smallest kit with him. “Hazelkit, show a bit of respect for a warrior!”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“The horseplace cat gave him a doubtful look, then ran at him, flashing out a paw as she went past. Cloudtail dodged aside and hooked out Daisy’s paws from under her so that she sprawled on the grass in a tangle of legs and fluffy tail. “That’s not fair!” she wailed. “You never said you were going to do that.” “Oh, right.” Cloudtail couldn’t keep the amusement out of his voice. “Do you think in the thick of a battle an enemy warrior will come up and say, ‘Be careful, I’m going to push you over now?”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“Squirrelflight, you’d better join him. You’ll go anyway, so you may as well have permission.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“A growl rose in Blackstar’s throat. “You told a warrior from another Clan about our Clan’s problems?” Tawnypelt stared at him without flinching. “I told Squirrelflight. She’s a friend.” “And Tawnypelt’s my sister,” Brambleclaw added, stepping forward to stand beside her.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“ThunderClan needs more young cats. We only have two apprentices, and although Sorreltail’s kits will be very welcome, they won’t begin their warrior training for moons.” Brackenfur and Sorreltail, who had emerged from the nursery to stand beside her mate, blinked proudly at each other. “But these are kittypets,” Brambleclaw objected. “How are they going to learn—” “What did you say?” Cloudtail whirled around to face Brambleclaw, his blue eyes slitted with anger. “Have you forgotten that your Clan leader was a kittypet? That I was a kittypet? I’ll show you that a kittypet can claw your ears off any time.”

― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“I suppose you’re right,” Brambleclaw sighed. “But for StarClan’s sake, be a bit more careful next time.” “She will be.” Ashfur sprang to Squirrelflight’s defense again, unaware of the furious look she gave him this time. She was even angrier when she noticed a surprised glance from Sandstorm, as if her mother couldn’t believe she was depending on Ashfur for protection. “Anyway, Brambleclaw,” the gray tomcat went on, “it’s not your place to tell her what to do.” “It’s any cat’s place,” Brambleclaw retorted, his neck fur starting to bristle. “Do you want trouble with ShadowClan?” Ashfur unsheathed his claws. “That’s not the point!”

“Before all is peaceful, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“Oh, right.” Cloudtail couldn’t keep the amusement out of his voice. “Do you think in the thick of a battle an enemy warrior will come up and say, ‘Be careful, I’m going to push you over now?”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight

“Meet me by the island at twilight,” he whispered, adding in a louder meow, “Remember to tell Squirrelflight what I said.”
― Erin Hunter, Twilight
