Spoilers will be below.
Hugh: You think you're any different from me? Or your friends? Or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear everything breathing together; you can FEEL everything growing together. We're all living together, even if most folks don't act like it. We all have the same roots and we are all branches of the same tree.
Yeah. I love my my environmentalist messages in kid shows. They give me warm fuzzies.
So what about you? What is your favorite quote from Avatar?
Tomorrow: Favorite Book Season
Logging you in...

Sokka: My first girlfriend turned into the moon.
Zuko: That's rough, buddy.
I will return when I have remembered something more profound, but I will love that moment forever and always!

I have too many favorite quotes to pick just one, so here's a sampler:
"Maybe instead of defeating the Fire Lord, you could go into the jewelry-making business!"
"I don't see why I can't do both."
"I hate to be a wet blanket here, but since Katara's busy I guess it's up to me."
"Can Madame Wu's fortunetelling explain *that*?"
"Can your science explain why it rains?"
"YES! YES IT CAN!!!"
"No, Fire Lord Ozai, you're not wearing any pants."
"AAAH! NOOOOOO! My royal parts are showing!!!"

Toph: Who's Zuko?
Sokka: Oh, just some angry freak with a pony tail who's tracked us all over the world.
Katara: What's wrong with pony tails, pony tail?
Sokka: This *points to pony tail* is a warrior's wolf tail.
Katara: Well, it certainly tells the other warriors that you're fun and perky!

Zuko: You have another motive for doing this. I just haven't figure out what it is.
Azula: Please, Zuko. What ulterior motive could I have? What could I possibly gain by letting you get all the glory for defeating the Avatar? Unless somehow, the Avatar was actually alive. All that glory would suddenly turn to shame and foolishness. But you said yourself that was impossible. Sleep well, Zuzu.

But, I'm just going to upvote everyone's choices today, because there are too many awesome quotes from Avatar!!
MichelleZB · 730 weeks ago
Sokka: My first girlfriend turned into the Moon.
Zuko: That's rough, buddy.
Some other super great dialogue:
Guard: My liege, do you mean the good chamber, or the bad chamber?
King Bumi: The newly refurbished chamber.
Guard: Wait, which one are we talking about?
King Bumi: The one that used to be the bad chamber, until the recent refurbishing, that is. Of course, we've been calling it the new chamber, but we really should number them. Take them to the refurbished chamber that was once bad!
And the winner for sheer badassery:
Azula: I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing. You had to struggle and connive and claw your way to power. But true power? The divine right to rule? Is something you’re born with. The fact is, they don’t know which one of us is going to be sitting on that throne and which one is going to be bowing down. But I know. And you know... Well?!
Long Feng: You’ve beaten me at my own game.
Azula: Don’t flatter yourself. You were never even a player.

Mai: I guess you just don't know people as well as you think you do. You miscalculated. I love Zuko more than I fear you.
And with that, THE POWER OF LOVE single-handedly started Azula on her epic mental breakdown.

I love that exchange.

Off the top of my head, I'm going to go with Sokka's "I have a natural curiosity" in response to Katara berating him for eating strange things after he's been high on cactus juice all day. Something about the delivery never fails to give me a fit of the giggles.
I'll probably come back later and regret this choice and have five other quotes that I want to say are my favorites.

Also, nearly everything from Ember Island Players. "It's time we had a talk... about your hair! It's gone too far!"
"You caught me. Wiat, what's that?" *pointing in the opposite direction* "I think it's your honour!"

Sokka: It's a giant... mushroom... MAYBE IT'S FRIENDLY!
CactusJuice!Sokka is the source of much hilarity, but something about this line + its delivery always makes me howl with laughter.
Bumi: Kangaroo Island, eh? I hear that place is really hopping!
I love all of Bumi's puns, but this one especially.
Azula: Together, you and I will be ( the strongest couple in the entire world! WE WILL DOMINATE THE EARTH!
Zuko: For so long, all I wanted was you to love me, to accept me. I thought it was my honor that I wanted, but really, I was just trying to please you. You, my father, who banished me just for talking out of turn. My father, who challenged me, a 13-year-old boy, to an Agni Kai. How can you possibly justify a duel with a child?
Fire Lord Ozai: It was to teach you respect.
Zuko: It was cruel! And it was wrong.
Fire Lord Ozai: Then you have learned nothing.
Zuko: No, I’ve learned everything! And I had to learn it on my own. Growing up, we were taught that the Fire Nation was the greatest civilization in history and somehow, the war was our way of sharing our greatness with the rest of the world. What an amazing lie that was! The people of the world are terrified by the Fire Nation! They don’t see our greatness - they hate us! And we deserve it. We’ve created an era of fear in the world. And if we don’t want the world to destroy itself, we need to replace it with an era of peace and kindness.
Fire Lord Ozai: (laughs mockingly) Your Uncle has gotten to you, hasn’t he?
Zuko: Yes. He has.
Zuko: Hello, Zuko here. But I guess you probably already know me, sort of. Uh so, the thing is I have a lot of Firebending experience and I'm considered to be pretty good at it. Well you've seen me... you know when I was attacking you? Uh yeah, I guess I should apologize for that, but anyway I'm good now. I mean, I thought I was good before but now I realize I was bad, but anyway... I think it's time I joined your group and taught the Avatar Firebending.
Zuko: How am I supposed to convince these people that I'm on their side? What would uncle do? (imitating Iroh) Zuko, you have to look within yourself to save yourself from your other self. Only then will your true self reveal itself. Ugh, even when I'm talking for him I can't figure out what he means. What would Azula do? (imitating Azula) Listen Avatar, I can join your group, or I can do something unspeakably horrible to you and your friends. Your choice! (looks at frog) I guess I'm not that good at impersonations.
Zuko: Oh, what would Uncle say? Sometimes, clouds have two sides- a dark and light, and a silver lining in between. It's like a silver sandwich! So, when life seems hard...take a bite out of the silver sandwich.
Sokka: Maybe we haven't failed after all!
Zuko: That's the spirit! I can't believe that worked. I didn't even know what I was saying.
Sokka: No, what you said made no sense at all. But look! It's Suki!
Zuko: Uncle, I know you must have mixed feelings about seeing me. But I want you to know... I am so, so sorry uncle. I am so sorry and ashamed of what I did! I don't know how I can ever make it up to you, but I...
(Iroh grabs Zuko by his shirt and embraces him)
Zuko: How can you forgive me so easily?! I thought you would be furious with me!
Iroh: I was never angry with you. I was sad, because I was afraid you'd lost your way.
Zuko: I did lose my way.
Iroh: But you found it again! And you did it by yourself! And I'm so happy you found your way here.
Zuko: It wasn't that hard uncle. You have a pretty strong scent.

Yes! Yes it can!"
Thank you Sokka for being me. There are lots and lots of really funny lines on this show (many of them from the last episode, even), but I can't bring myself to choose any other quote.

*beat*
Katara: We're going to keep trying, but that's a good backup.
Dragon Elexus 124p · 730 weeks ago
Awkward!ZuZu goodness. XD
"We just let love guide the way!"
"Really? We let huge, ferocious beasts lead our way."
Edit:
How could I forget the most bad ass quote in this entire show?
Long Feng: You've beaten me at my own game.
Azula: Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player.

"Don't worry, Sokka! Where we're going, you won't need any pants!"

"It better not be a fluffy bunny. Fluffy Bunny clouds mean doom and destruction!!!"

"Hey, that cloud looks like a fluffy bunny!"
"You'd better hope that's not a fluffy bunny cloud! The fluffy bunny cloud fortells doom and destruction!"
