Li Mu Bai: I've already wasted my whole life. I want to tell you with my last breath that I have always loved you. I would rather be a ghost, drifting by your side as a condemned soul, than enter heaven without you. Because of your love, I will never be a lonely spirit.
Li Mu Bai: No growth without assistance. No action without reaction. No desire without restraint. Now give yourself up and find yourself again.
Li Mu Bai: The things we touch have no permanence. My master would say: there is nothing we can hold onto in this world. Only by letting go can we truly possess what is real.
Li Mu Bai: I would rather be a ghost drifting by your side as a condemned soul than enter heaven without you... because of your love, I will never be a lonely spirit
Sir Te: A sword by itself rules nothing. It only comes alive in skilled hands.
Lo: A faithful heart makes wishes come true.
Yu Shu Lien: To repress one's feelings only makes them stronger.
Li Mu Bai: [to Yu Shu Lien] Crouching tigers and hidden dragons are in the underworld... but so are human feelings.
Yu Shu Lien: You were enlightened?
Li Mu Bai: No. I didn't feel the bliss of enlightenment. Instead... I was surrounded by an endless sorrow.
Lo: We have a legend. Anyone who dares to jump from the mountain, God will grant his wish. Long ago, a young man's parents were ill, so he jumped. He didn't die. He wasn't even hurt. He floated away, far away, never to return. He knew his wish had come true. If you believe, it will happen. The elders say, "A faithful heart makes wishes come true."
Yu Shu Lien: Whatever path you decide to take in this life... be true to yourself.
Jade Fox: You deserve to die, but the life I was hoping to take was Jen's. Ten years I devoted to you, but you deceived me! You hid the manual's true meaning. I never improved but your progress was limitless. You know what poison is? An eight year-old girl full of deceit. That's poison!
Li Mu Bai: Like most things, I am nothing.
Li Mu Bai: Real sharpness comes without effort.

Lo: I wish that we'll be in the desert together again.
[commenting on the theft of the Green Destiny sword once again]
Sir Te: They take it, they return it, they take it again... this place is becoming everyone's private storeroom!
Li Mu Bai: She should come to Wudan and become a disciple.
Yu Shu Lien: But Wudan does not accept women.
Li Mu Bai: For her, they might make an exception. If not, I'm afraid she'll become a poisoned dragon.
Sir Te: When in comes to the affairs of the heart, even the greatest warriors can be a consummate idiots.
