Evil can be pretty plain.


“Evil can be pretty plain.”
“True enough. Some may have a talent for it, but you don’t have to be talented to wallow in it.”
Mara Jade and Corran Horn, I, Jedi




Given the right stimulus, we could go over to…


Let’s suppose Jedi are like everyone else except in their Force sensitivity. If they are, then there are going to be some folks who pretty much are born to the dark side and that’s where they stay. They like it there and they never learn there is another place to go. Let’s say this is [...]




Size works against…


Size works against efficiency with criminal organizations, and power allows for greed to be played off against greed, creating discord.
Corran Horn, I, Jedi




The foolish always…


The foolish always see themselves as strong.
Nejaa Halcyon; I, Jedi




The antidote to…


The antidote to the dark side is the light side.
Kirana Ti, I, Jedi




The dark side fills you with…


The dark side fills you with aching hunger that will never be satisfied.
Corran Horn, I, Jedi




If you cannot recognize…


If you cannot recognize the man in the mirror, it is time to step back and see when you stopped being yourself.
Corran Horn, I, Jedi




While a Jedi acts…


While a Jedi acts in defense and not out of aggression, that doesn’t mean aggressively putting a defense into place is bad.
Corran Horn; I, Jedi




The essence of being a Jedi…


The essence of being a Jedi. A Jedi places himself where he can defend the greatest number of people from the greatest evil.
Corran Horn; I, Jedi




The only thing we can do is…


The only thing we can do is accept responsibility and live with the consequences.
Corran Horn, I, Jedi




The keys of great culinary success…


The keys of great culinary success.
First, make portions small. If they want more, they think it was good. Two, give the dish an exotic name and make it sound like there are secret spices in there. Snobs will spend much time trying to see if their palate is sophisticated enough to detect one part per [...]




There’s no…


There’s no good that comes from evil.
Corran Horn,  I, Jedi




Power comes to poison those who hoard it…


People start telling themselves they’re amassing power for this goal or that, and they convince themselves that it’s a good thing. Then when they get enough they find circumstances have changed. They find they need more power or they need to wield this power in ways they didn’t expect before. An opponent who won’t listen [...]




It is easier to learn…


It is easier to learn to concentrate than it is to learn to open up.
Corran Horn, I, Jedi




The past…


The past prepares us for the present.

Corran Horn; I Jedi




Power should be reserved for…


Power should be reserved for those with the strength to heft the sword and the wisdom to know when to wield it.

 Vergere, New Jedi Order – Agents of Chaos I Hero’s Trial




We are all luminous creatures…


We are all luminous creatures, not crude conglomerations of flesh and bone.

  Luke Skywalker, I, Jedi




Those who want too much…


The dark side is seductive for those who want too much too fast.

 Luke Skywalker, I, Jedi




If you are to avoid…


If you are to avoid the lures of the dark side, you must be constantly vigilant.

  Luke Skywalker, I, Jedi




The Force is a sword…


The Force is a sword with two edges. Cut one way and vanquish. But be careless on the backswing, or allow your mind to wander, and you risk undoing all you’ve accomplished.

 Vergere, New Jedi Order – Agents of Chaos I Hero’s Trial




It is not for…


It is not for me to sculpt the Force’s flow to my purposes, but for me to be sculpted into that which more easily works with the Force.

 Corran Horn, I, Jedi




If we live for…


If we live for the present and in the present, we short-change the future. Living for the future is necessary if we are to have any sort of future at all.

 Corran Horn, I, Jedi




Life is the antidote to…


Anyone who thought destruction was more powerful than creation was a fool. Within the first ten years of (a) child’s life, the scars from the battling on Coruscant would be erased. And even if they were not, that child could, in twenty or thirty years, be the person who saw to their erasure. Life [...]




Catastrophic damage…


Catastrophic damage did bring out the worst in some people, but it brought out the best in even more.

The greatest act a living creature can…


To create life is the greatest act a living creature can commit.

Ooryl Qrygg, I, Jedi

It’s all about familiarity. No matter how unpleasant or dreary a place might have become, it’s always hard to give up something you’ve become so used to.

Luke Skywalker; Survivor’s Quest




Past thoughts are…


Past thoughts are irrelevant to the realities of the present.

Prard’enc’iflar; Survivor’s Quest




Our only choice is…


None of us gets to choose which talents and abilities we are born with. Our only choice is whether we take those gifts and use them to live and grow and serve, or whether we bury them in the ground and try to pretend they were never there.

Dean Jinzler, Survivor’s Quest




When the Force…


When the Force is your ally, you’re never truly alone.

Luke Skywalker; Survivor’s Quest




Acts of repentance…


Remembrances come in all sizes and shapes. As do acts of repentance and atonement for past failures.
Chack Fel; Survivor’s Quest
