Princess Celestia quotes from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Fluttershy

Wow! You look just like a princess!

Princess Celestia

That's because she is a princess.

Huh?!

Pinkie Pie

Hold on a second...! [drinks water, does spit-take]

Twilight Sparkle

A...a princess?

Princess Celestia

Since you've come to Ponyville, you've displayed the charity, compassion, devotion, integrity, optimism, and of course, the leadership of a true princess.

Twilight Sparkle

But... does this mean I won't be your student anymore?

Princess Celestia

Not in the same way as before. I'll still be here to help and guide you, but we're all your students now, too. You are an inspiration to us all, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle

But... what do I do now?! Is there a book about being a princess I should read?!

Princess Celestia

There will be time for all of that later.

Twilight Sparkle

What's inside it? How am I supposed to open it?

Princess Luna

Six locks, six keys.

Princess Celestia

I do not know where they are, but I do know that it is a mystery you will not be solving alone.

Princess Celestia

You've been wondering what you are meant to do as a princess. Do you know now?

Twilight Sparkle

As princess, I believe I have the power to spread the magic of friendship across Equestria. That is the role I am meant to have in our world! The role I choose to have! But I didn't defeat Tirek on my own, it took all of us to unlock the chest.

Princess Celestia

Then it is unlikely you are meant to take on this task alone. [opens door, showing thrones for the mane 6 and Spike]

[gasps] Wowwee! Wow...

Princess Celestia

You are now Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship.

Princess Celestia

But what is the Princess of Friendship without her friends?

Celestia

(overjoyed) You have nothing to apologize for, this has been the most fun Gala in years!!

Twilight

(oblivious) I know. It was a— (realizing) —WHAT?!! But...there was ooze all over the place, a-and one of the guests threatened to send somepony to another dimension!

Celestia

I know. Can you imagine how dull it would have been if I hadn't invited Discord? (She pushes Twilight with her) Come on! Ho! The night is still young! (giggles)

[burbling]

Twilight

The baby is an Alicorn?!

Cadance

[tired] It looks that way.

But... but... but I thought Alicorn wings had to be earned by accomplishing some great, princess-worthy deed!

Applejack

Yeah. How can you just be born with them?

Celestia

The birth of an Alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!

Luna

It is beyond even our understanding.

Fluttershy

[hushed] That's not very reassuring.

Wow! A unicorn, and a Pegasus! So she could be a super-strong flyer and have crazy baby magic.

Twilight Sparkle

Starlight, Trixie, Thorax, and Discord were brave in the face of danger, resourceful when things got challenging, and proved that the bonds of friendship, no matter how unlikely, are stronger than any adversity. By stopping Queen Chrysalis, not only did they save Equestria; they set the changelings free from her reign.

Discord

Go, Discord! Yahoo! [laughs]

Starlight Glimmer

[giggles]

Princess Celestia

And that's why we're proud and honored to give them the Equestrian Pink Hearts of Courage!

Princess Celestia

[voiceover] She was truly one of my best students.

Spike

[voiceover] Are you talking about Twilight? I can't see what you're thinking about.

Princess Celestia

[voiceover] Yes, Spike. I was constantly surprised and impressed with her discoveries. But I noticed that her pursuit of academia was preventing her from reaching her full potential.

Spike

[voiceover] You mean it was keeping her isolated and alone?

Princess Celestia

[voiceover] Uh, yes, Spike. I had a decision to make. Oh, but it wasn't easy.

Prince Rutherford

Where Yona?! This all pony's fault!

Ember

You're pretty quick to blame them! What are you hiding, yak?!

Prince Rutherford

[snorts]

Thorax

C-Can... Can we just focus on finding our lost students?

Nice try! You grubs are probably hiding the whole lot of them!

Princess Celestia

Please, every creature! If you can just explain what happened...

Seaspray

The students left us notes before they disappeared. When the school closed, they didn't want to say goodbye to each other. They claim they ran away to stay together.

Twilight Sparkle

I can't believe it! They did learn friendship!

Twilight Sparkle

Sorry.

Seaspray

The students couldn't have done this by themselves. Some creature is hiding them! If the niece of our queen is not found soon, I promise there will be retribution!

Ember

Yeah? Well, my dragons will burn every kingdom until we find which of you is hiding Smolder!

Tell it to the griffon army!

Prince Rutherford

Yaks fight griffons and dragons!

Thorax

The Changeling Hive Empire can't afford an international incident. My people have made far too many enemies throughout the centuries. If any creature blames the Changelings for this—

Ember

What are you up to, shapeshifter?!

Thorax

B-But we're friends!

Princess Celestia

Find the students quickly, Twilight, or I fear our world will be at war!

Princess Celestia

Hold on, please! I'm sure Princess Twilight Sparkle has a good explanation for all of this.

Twilight Sparkle

I do! It's true that my School of Friendship is EEA unaccredited...

Spike

Look! She said it without doing the eye thing!

Chancellor Neighsay

Then it is not a school!

Twilight Sparkle

It's not an EEA school. It's a Friendship school, with its own rules. I should know; I wrote the book.

Twilight Sparkle

To commemorate your first sunrise, I've written a play. We'd like to perform it at my School of Friendship, if you don't mind.

Princess Celestia

[giggling happily] Mind? Oh! Of course not! Oh! I think a play is a fantastic idea!

Spike

Did she just... prance?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Oh, it's so snowy today! Brrr! I'm getting chilly!

Princess Celestia

Should I get you a blanket?

All aboard! The Ponyville Express is leaving the station! Whoo-whoo! Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga...

Princess Celestia

It is? But I don't see anything.

Princess Celestia

You had good intentions, Twilight. But you know that the truth is always better than a well-meant lie. Didn't Applejack remind you?

Twilight Sparkle

[sighs] About a hundred times.

Princess Celestia

Fluttershy will be our new lead.

Fluttershy

Oh, my. Me? Playing you? While you watch me playing you? Oh, no. Oh, no. I think my stage fright is coming back. [hyperventilating]

Cozy Glow

Um, didn't we learn in class about a creature that eats magic? Ter, Tee... Tir-something?

Fluttershy

[gasps] Tirek!

Princess Celestia

If he has found some way to escape his prison or work from within it, he could be responsible for this.

Apple Bloom

[yelps] We held her off as long as we could!

Scootaloo

But she locked us in this closet!

Sweetie Belle

What happened?! Is everything all right?! Where's Cozy Glow?!

Twilight Sparkle

Everything worked out just fine.

Princess Celestia

As for Cozy Glow, I can assure you — where she's going, she won't be causing any more trouble.
