- "If I couldn't read minds, everyone I met would be like Turtle—completely unreadable. Strange and blank. I'd have no way to know if they were kind or cruel. I'd never understand why they act the way they do. Everyone would be all surface. I'd think Winter was just mean; I wouldn't know about his dead brother and how he hates himself more than anyone else. I might think Qibli was just goofy and ordinary, if I didn't know about his layers and his amazing mind and his childhood. I'd have stayed away from Kinkajou, because I wouldn't have known or believed that she really liked me. I guess that's how other dragons live... never knowing how complicated everyone is. That's what it would be like, to be normal."
- — thinking about her powers
- "I know, Stay secret. Stay hidden. Stay safe. So isn't this really dangerous? What if I make a mistake here, with all these different kinds of dragons around?"
- ― to Secretkeeper, about Jade Mountain Academy (Moon Rising, page 3)
- "No. I don't want to be... like other dragons. I just want them to not mind that I'm different, if that makes sense. I want to stop being scared—of being found out, of what my visions mean, of other dragons, of everything."
- ― to Darkstalker (Moon Rising, page 61)
- "All right. But please stop trying to scare me. You are not as terrifying as you think you are."
- ― to Winter (Moon Rising, page 92)
- "That just seems kind of wrong, doesn't it? I mean, judging dragons by their dark thoughts, and using that to justify spying on them? Lots of dragons think dark things sometimes; it doesn't mean they'll ever actually do them... I don't know, I guess I don't like to think of myself as sneaking around in dragons' heads. I can't help what I hear, but it doesn't seem fair to do it on purpose."
- ― to Qibli (Moon Rising, page 233)
- "You can't give up. Of course it's hard; the whole point is that you're trying to fix something that's nearly impossible to fix. But if no one ever tries, then it will always be terrible. You and Clay and the others... dragons believe in you. You have to take that gift and do something with it, not run away from it."
- ― to Sunny, about Jade Mountain Academy (Moon Rising, page 281)
- "I mean, no one is completely evil... Dragons are complicated. Some are kinder than others, or braver than others, and some of them do really cruel things. But everyone has both good thoughts and bad thoughts and reasons for what they do, reasons that they believe are important."
- ― to Winter (Winter Turning, page 77)
- "Why would you be a librarian if you don't get excited about scrolls? I will never understand some dragons."
- ― to Qibli (Darkness of Dragons, page 237)
