Ozpin/Quotes

Ruby Rose
But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten; things that require a smaller, more honest soul. You... have silver eyes... It's just that I've only seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before. A dusty old crow... So I've noticed. And what is an adorable girl, such as yourself, doing at a school designed to train warriors? So you want to come to my school?... Well, okay.

The Shining Beacon, Pt.2
I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge--to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose – direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step.

The First Step
For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest. No. You will be using your own landing strategy. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die.

Players and Pieces
Congratulations, young man. It looks like things are shaping up to be an... interesting year.

The Badge and The Burden, Pt.2
Hmm... Well that didn't seem to go very well. Ruby. I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet. But at this moment I would not consider your appointment to leader to be one of them. Do you? Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle, but a badge you wear constantly. If you are not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you? You've been burdened with a daunting responsibility, Ruby. I advise you take some time to think about how you will uphold it.

Best Day Ever
... And they will be. But right now they're still children, so why not let them play the part? After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever.

Welcome to Beacon
I hope they never have to. I admire your drive. And I am proud to run a school that accepts individuals from all walks of life – rich, poor, human, Faunus... Why do you wear that bow, Blake? Why hide who you are? I may be your headmaster, but I am also a Huntsman; and it is my sworn duty to protect this world from the forces that conspire against it. If you ever need to talk to me... please don't hesitate to ask.

Burning the Candle
If you think about it, fighting and dancing aren't so different. It's not every day that friends are able to come together like this. Time has a way of testing our bonds, but it's nights like these that can help keep them stronger than ever. Nights like these are ones we'll never forget.

Field Trip
So tell me, when you prepare to go to war, which do you send in first: the flag bearer, or the scouts? Instead of waiting for you all to break the rules, why don't we just bend them?

It's Brawl in the Family
A guardian is a symbol of comfort. But an army is a symbol of conflict.

There's an energy in the air now, a question in the back of everyone's minds... "If this is the size of our defenses, then what is it we're expecting to fight?"

I suggest we find our guardian.

Never Miss a Beat
His heart is in the right place. He's just… misguided.

Ever since the day I met her, I had the feeling she would be the one. She's strong, intelligent, caring… but most importantly, she's ready.

Fall
We are telling you this, Pyrrha Nikos, because we believe you are next in line to receive the Fall Maiden's powers.

PvP
You brought your army to my kingdom, James. Use it.

Heroes and Monsters
I'm... so sorry.

Take Jaune and get out of here. Find Glynda, Ironwood, Qrow. Bring them here right away. The tower cannot fall.

Vytal Festival Tournament
It's true that all of this began with war. But, it is peace that has served to shepherd humanity on its ascension to greatness. May we never stray from that path.

Huntsmen
All are expected to serve humanity... and never succumb to the darkness.

Cross Continental Transmit System
If one of the four towers is taken offline, the entire network falls with it; a slight inconvenience during routine maintenance. But to be honest, I find the limitations somewhat poetic. No one voice is louder than the others, and no voice may be silent without the rest. If the people of Remnant are to speak, then they shall do so together... or not at all.

About Ozpin
I've believed in Professor Ozpin for many years, and the man's never once led me astray!

I've trusted him for years. We both have. I just... I can't help but feel like he's keeping us in the dark.

Ozpin has experience that the rest of us lack. And I think that's something worth remembering.

It's funny, the more I get to know him, the more he's starting to sound like Uncle Qrow...
