"Yes, O Great One, I shall do exactly what you say. And when we come back empty-pawed, maybe you'll admit that I was right."

―Squirrelpaw to Brambleclaw ^Midnight

"I wish that the stars had not sent this message to me to pass on. But it is my duty. Squirrelflight, you will never have kits of your own."

―Yellowfang lying to Squirrelflight ^{Leafpool's Wish}

"ThunderClan needs you to be their medicine cat. I will love these kits as if they were my own. I already do! I will never take them from the Clan, you will see them all the time, and they will know you are my kin so they will always be close to you. Remember what Feathertail said. These kits deserve parents that can be proud of them, who can raise them among their Clanmates as fine warriors. Brambleclaw and I can do that. And the secret of their birth will die with me, I promise."

―Squirrelflight's loyalty to Leafpool and her kits ^{Leafpool's Wish}

"I know what it's like to have friends in other Clans. To feel that there's something stronger that your Clan calling you away from home."

―Squirrelflight to Hollypaw ^{Dark River}

"I know you think you were doing the right thing, but you are only an apprentice. How can you possibly understand? Your duty is to listen and learn and leave the decision making to the warriors."

―Squirrelflight to Hollypaw ^{Dark River}

"If Leafpool is like water, calm, deep running, reflecting the stars, then Squirrelflight is fire. She has energy to scorch every tree in the forest, and a tongue that would leave scars in beech bark."

―Rock describing Squirrelflight ^{Cats of the Clans}

"I would trust Squirrelflight with my life simply because she is incapable of doing anything but what she believes to be right. No, Blossomkit, this is not the same as always telling the truth. Even Squirrelflight has her secrets."

―Rock on Squirrelflight ^{Cats of the Clans}

Squirrelflight: "Enough, Ashfur. Your quarrel is with me. These young cats have done nothing to hurt you. Do what you like with me, but let them out of the fire."

Ashfur: "You don't understand. This is the only way to make you feel the same pain you caused me. You tore my heart out when you chose Brambleclaw over me. Anything I did to you would never hurt as much. But your kits.... if you watch them die, then you'll know the pain I felt."

^{Long Shadows}

Leafpool: "I know that I can not be ThunderClan's medicine cat any longer. I'm very sorry to you, Firestar, and to all my Clanmates. Please know that I tried my best, and regretted what I had done with every single breath, but I couldn't regret having my kits. They are fine cats, and I will always be proud of them."

Brambleclaw: "Why?"

^Sunrise

Squirrelflight: "Brambleclaw, I'm sorry. You have to understand that I never intended to hurt you. I loved you, and was proud to raise these kits with you. You were a wonderful father."

Brambleclaw: "But I wasn't their father!"

^{The Last Hope}

Brambleclaw: "Will you fight beside me?"

Squirrelflight: "... Always."

^{The Last Hope}

Bramblestar: "Will you be my deputy, Squirrelflight?"

Squirrelflight: "Really?"

^{The Last Hope}

Squirrelflight: "What's going on?"

Dovewing: "Sorreltail is dead."

^{Dovewing's Silence}

"You know as well as I do, that medicine-cat apprentice has to be just the right cat."

―Squirrelflight to Jayfeather ^{The Apprentice's Quest}

"Being a mother isn't about saying the right thing or doing the right thing all the time. No cat does that. No cat can. No, being a mother is about protecting the cats you care about."

―Squirrelflight's thoughts on being a mother ^{The Apprentice's Quest}

"What good did nine lives do Bramblestar? He's dead!"

―Squirrelflight snapping at ThunderClan ^{Lost Stars}

"Do you really think this is the best way to run a Clan? After the leaf-bare we’ve had, do you think you’ll improve morale by pushing cats around and stealing the best prey for yourself?"

―Squirrelflight angry with Bramblestar ^{The Silent Thaw}

"I know it sounds crazy. But Bramblestar is my mate. I can tell. I had a feeling something was wrong...but I just told myself it was because he'd lost a life. Now I think it's more than that. I've been paying close attention to him today. He's...different."

―Squirrelflight to Bristlefrost about Bramblestar ^{The Silent Thaw}
