Xena quotes from Xena: Warrior Princess

Xena

That's it?

Yeah, easy come, easy go.

Ares

No. Life isn't worth living. It's to be taken, and beaten. And wrestled, and formed in your image. That's where the meaning lies. In what you can twist life into. For those who just endure life, yeah it is a very nasty joke. But for those who form it with their will, the joke is on those who get in the way.

Xena

I must be crazy. You're beginning to make sense.

Xena

It's not the Fates, it's not Ares, it's not something I ate, no, I have no poison dart marks, I have no Bacchae bites!

Joxer

Is that a hickey?

Xena

Gabrielle, did you know that Joxer simply adores you?

Joxer

Could I speak to you privately?

Xena

He would crawl 50 miles on broken glass just to sweat in your shadow.

Joxer

Ixnay on the ovelay alktay!

Gabrielle

I don't think I've ever been a part of a true disaster before.

Xena

You're such a cynic.

Gabrielle

...kill them all.

Xena

Yeah, that's what I said.

Gabrielle

That was obviously your answer to everything in those days Xena.

Gabrielle

You owe someone so much you would just throw away these last few years?

Xena

Yes.

Xena

Pheidippides, can you run on to Athens and tell them about Marathon?

Yes.

Xena

Good. Pace yourself. In this heat, a run like that could kill you.

Gabrielle

You taught me that there are things in life worth dying for-- things that hold a higher meaning than our own existence.

Xena

Not your existence.

Gabrielle

Why? 'Cause I'm your friend?

Xena

Yes!

Gabrielle

Well then, honor my memory.

Gabrielle

You've got to take me with you-- teach me everything you know. You can't leave me here in Poteidaia. I wanna go with you. I've studied the stars... spoken with philosophers... and I have the gift of prophecy. I can be very valuable to you. Take me with you. I want so much to be like you.

Xena

And I want to be like you.

Gabrielle

I thought you said these guys were tough.

Xena

They must have had an off-day.

Gabrielle

There's something that I'm not getting. There's something you're not telling me.

Xena

She reminds me a little bit of me.

Gabrielle

Xena, I knew you were evil, but you were obnoxious too?

My father said some people were born evil. Is that true?

Xena

No.You can recreate yourself every second of your life. (Xena closes her eyes to sleep)

How do you know what is good from bad? (Xena opens them)

Xena

It is not always that simple.

Xena

Gabrielle lives by her own rules.

Do you think she knows all the answers?

Xena

Gabrielle's first reaction is to act selflessly. It is always a good place to start. Go to sleep now.

Xena

Give me that hat.

(in a sing-song voice) What do you say?

Xena

Or else.

This isn't about Vircinix, is it?

Xena

Go on, tell us

Assassination ... Caesar's blood on your blade ... this is you way of getting to him.

Gabrielle

You're wrong.

Am I? Have you ever seen Xena around him? Her judgement gets a little impaired.
