Well, we aren't entirely sure that Ozpin's line at the end of the intro was in dialogue. My theory: he was thinking out loud after reading or remembering something.

There's a long-standing theory that Ozpin was acquainted with Ruby's mom (whether or not she was Summer Rose--for I and P of this theory, I'm saying she is). What I'm guessing is that Ozpin is recalling Summer in a moment of despair, or perhaps her last words. He's been musing on those words for years, and then he comes across Ruby, via Qrow. And he sees potential in her.
