| “ | And by keeping her from opening the vault for Ironwood, we're just trapping the whole city for Salem! People are going to die. Because of us. | ” |
—Ren, to Yang
| “ | I'm just saying what nobody else wants to. We're in way over our heads, Ruby is barely more than a kid, I'm just an orphan from the middle of nowhere. | ” |
—Ren, to Yang
| “ | You cheated your way into Beacon! | ” |
—Ren, to Jaune
War

—Ren, to the Ace-Ops
| “ | No! No one is replaceable. | ” |
—Ren, before his Semblance gives him to see Harriet's hidden emotions
| “ | You don't really believe that. You are furious about losing Clover, and you, you miss him. | ” |
—Ren, to Harriet
| “ | That's why you lost against Team RWBY. You, you try to fight how you feel about each other, so you'll never truly work as a team. | ” |
—Ren, about Ace-Ops
| “ | You don't like this either. In fact, you don't want to be a part of it at all anymore. | ” |
—Ren, to Marrow
| “ | I know you don't, either. | ” |
—Ren, to Winter
Witch
| “ | I... I might be able to help. I can sense spikes of people's emotions, I think. It happened on Winter's ship. If I focus my Aura, I can keep it up. | ” |
—Ren, to Jaune and Yang about his Semblance
| “ | I can sort of tell where they are, but not who. They're more of less in the same area though. Further in. I can lead. | ” |
—Ren, to Jaune and Yang
| “ | It's okay to be afraid, you know. You don't always have to hide it with a joke. | ” |
—Ren, to Yang
| “ | Him on the other hand... There's no fear at all. I can see it, he believes we're going to get this done. | ” |
—Ren, to Yang about Jaune
| “ | Because she's scared. Just like us. | ” |
—Ren, to Yang about Emerald
Ultimatum
| “ | We can't let all of our actions stem from fear. If she could help us, I think we should consider it. | ” |
—Ren, to Yang about Emerald
| “ | Do you mean Ozpin? I had a feeling. | ” |
—Ren, to Oscar about Ozpin's return
| “ | Where's Nora? | ” |
—Ren, wondering about Nora
Risk
| “ | I'm... glad you're alright. | ” |
—Ren, to Nora
| “ | You're right. I should be apologizing, to both of you. W-when we lost Oscar and things got difficult, I said terrible things. I've been so...angry, at myself. For not being as good as the Ace Ops, for what happened at Robyn's rally, for losing the lamp. I thought if I just focused on working harder, getting stronger, that we...I, wouldn't fail. But, my biggest failing was as a teammate and as a partner. | ” |
—Ren, to Jaune and Nora
| “ | I was the one holding us back. Not Jaune, not you. Me. | ” |
—Ren, to Nora
| “ | What? That's not true. You put everything you have into what you do. You support everyone around you, you help without worrying about how it might hurt. And that's what I love about… That's why I... I love you | ” |
—Ren, confessing his feelings for Nora
| “ | It's definitely okay. | ” |
—Ren, reassuring Nora
| “ | Boop. | ” |
—Ren, while poking at Nora
About Ren
| “ | Yeah, turns out Ren gets real deep when he feels like talking. | ” |
—Ruby, after Ren gives a speech
| “ | Oh, and of course Ren is- um.. I don't know what he is. Every time I think the two of us are making progress, he… (sighs) We've been together our whole lives but I feel like I understand him less now than ever. And I don't know if that's his fault or mine. | ” |
—Nora Valkyrie, about her relationship with Ren
