Iroh — memorable quote from Avatar: The Last Airbender

“Those who wallow in power are destroyed by it.”

“A victor must speak not of the current state of the world, but of how it should rightfully be.”

“The future has shown us with its glorious brilliance the time to seize our destiny and conquer all our fear is now! In ancient times, man rubbed sticks together and created fire, then they slaughtered the whales and battled one another for oil. After that, came the atomic age. In every chapter of our history, we've danced with danger. But now, for the first time in existence, we will be delivered from fear. Finally, we will escape the prison of our illusions and the beautiful night will embrace us all. It's already too late! I will live by this and I will die by this!”

“The past does not exist to remind us that the future cannot be changed. It exists to remind us what the future can be.”

“I know, someone like me can't just go out and change the world on a whim.”
