Quote One
" As you've heard, we are not always perfect, but we have a great deal of faith in our warrior ancestors. The code lives in our heartbeat, the blood pulsing beneath our fur. When we die, the code carries on in our kits, and their kits, for all the moons to come. StarClan willing, the code of the Clans will live forever, until the forest and the lake have turned to dust and our hunting grounds are no more." --Leafpool concluding the kittypet's time with her, Page 156.

Quote Two
"Firestar said you wanted to learn about the warrior code. I can see how it would fascinate you, born and raised outside the Clans. Does it seem as if our lives are governed by strict, ancient rules? Your life must feel free as air in comparison; you can hunt when you like, eat what you catch, and choose friends and enemies wherever you please without having loyalties and responsibilities forced upon you. I can see by the glint in your eyes that you sometimes pity us for the code that binds us like bramble tendrils to our Clanmates, our territories, and our long-dead ancestors. But the warrior code isn't like that. If you're born to it, raised in its nurturing paws, it feels as obvious as breathing." --Leafpool telling the kittypets about how the warrior code effects the Clan cat's life, Page 8.

Quote Three
"Relax your mind and together we will travel back through the ages, through many generations of cats. Just as grass grows even on the bare cliffs around the hollow, each code arose from the Clans' daily lives as a way of ensuring that every cat was safe, nurtured and fed from it's very first breath. You will see that while the warrior code is still a force for good, for protection and balance among the Clans, many cats have challenged it---for it can bring a terrible conflict to individual lives. Are you ready? Let us begin with the first code.... " --Leafpool introducing the warrior code, Page 9.
