Dovepaw: "D-do you know Ivypaw?"

Tigerheart: "I've seen her at Gatherings."

Dovepaw: "But nothing more than that?"

Tigerheart: "Do you mean, have I ever asked to meet her in the middle of the night, and brought her here to risk my life on collapsing logs? Let me think...No. I'm pretty sure I haven't. There's only one sister I'm interested in."

—Tigerheart to Dovepaw about that he loves only her^{Night Whispers, page 111}

Dovewing: "We have nothing left to say to each other."

Tigerheart: "Please! I didn't use you, I promise I didn't. Okay, I told Blackstar about Jayfeather's herbs, but that doesn't change how I felt about you. How I still feel about you."

—Tigerheart pleading to Dovewing^{Sign of the Moon, pages 78-79}

"You don't know what it's like to lose a littermate. You want to blame anyone, anything. Not just a crack in the ice."

―Tigerheart to Ivypool ^{The Forgotten Warrior, page 126}

"I believe what my sister says. Jayfeather murdered our littermate, and he must be punished."

―Tigerheart ^{The Forgotten Warrior, page 288}

Tigerheart: "We can have one more night together, can't we?"

Dovewing: "No, we can't. I have to concentrate on the prophecy! There's a battle coming. I don't know who to trust anymore!"

Tigerheart: "You can always trust me. I love you!"

Dovewing: "This isn't the time. I have a battle to fight. So do you."

Tigerheart: "What about afterward?"

Dovewing: "There will be four Clans again. You'll belong to ShadowClan, and I'll belong to ThunderClan, and ... and maybe that's how it should be."

—Dovewing ends her relationship with Tigerheart^{The Last Hope, pages 232-233}

"I'm a warrior. I fight for the Clans. Dark Forest warriors don't belong here. This is Clan territory!"

―Tigerheart ^{The Last Hope, page 292}

Thistleclaw: "But you're Tigerstar's kin!"

Tigerheart: "That doesn't mean I have to be like him. He almost destroyed ShadowClan once before. I wasn't going to let him do it again!"

—Thistleclaw and Tigerheart in the Dark Forest battle^{The Last Hope, page 292}

"We can do this together."

―Tigerheart to Ivypool ^{The Last Hope, page 296}

Tigerheart: "We have suffered because of Darktail's cruelty. He has left us weak and frightened. RiverClan has withdrawn to rebuild their shattered Clan. ShadowClan has lost so many warriors that it will take moons for us to become what we once were. There is no doubt that StarClan wanted us to find SkyClan. I believe StarClan had a reason. Not just to clear the sky, of the darkness we have suffered, but because StarClan knew that the five Clans belong together. With an extra Clan beside the lake, we will find strength when we most need it."

Crowfeather: "But who will give up territory for them?"

Tigerheart: "We could. We have fewer mouths to feed now. And fewer warriors to patrol our borders. It makes sense to exchange some of our land for an ally."

—Tigerheart offering some of ShadowClan's land to SkyClan at a Gathering^{Darkest Night, pages 36-37}

"Tigerheart would love to be remembered as the cat who saved the Clans."

―Crowfeather about Tigerheart ^{Darkest Night, page 266}

"Rowanstar is making the wisest decision. Without Tigerheart, we are no more than a bickering mob of starlings. We need the security of a Clan and the safety of Clanmates who hold the warrior code close to their hearts."

―Puddleshine about Tigerheart at a Gathering ^{Darkest Night, page 268}

Tigerheart: "I'm sorry. Perhaps I shouldn't have told you about Puddleshine's dream. But I couldn't lie to you. You have to believe that you are the most important thing in my life, but without my loyalty to my Clan, what would I be?"

Dovewing: "I know. Your loyalty makes you who you are. And I know you will love our kits with the same fierce loyalty with which you love your Clan. I love you, Tigerheart. I would have loved you even if you hadn't followed me here. I will always love you. Not just because you're the father of my kits, but because you're you. I'm sorry I made you choose between your Clan and me. No cat should ever have to make that choice. I was scared of facing this alone. I've been a coward."

Tigerheart: "No! You've been brave. So very brave. And I would have loved you, too, even if my Clan had kept me from you. Nothing could stop the way I feel about you."

Dovewing: "We will always love each other. But we have a responsibility to our Clans and to our kits. We are warriors–"

Tigerheart: "And our kits will be warriors too."

—Tigerheart and Dovewing^{Tigerheart's Shadow, page 188}

Rascal: "Why did [Fog] have to take Tigerheart's catch?"

Fierce: "Probably because Tigerheart's been trying to start a fight with her since he met her. Perhaps that's what warrior cats do."

Tigerheart: "Warriors believe that some things are worth fighting for."

—Tigerheart about being a warrior^{Tigerheart's Shadow, pages 228-229}

Tigerheart: "Spire had another vision. He heard a voice. A voice Spire said was for me. It gave him a message about Rowanstar. The voice said he needs me. It said he can't keep the shadows together. I can't ignore this sign. Rowanstar can't keep the Clan together. I have to go back. Please don't think I don't love you. You and the kits are the most important things in my life. But if I abandon my Clan now, when they need me, I will never forgive myself."

Dovewing: "I once told you I would love you whatever choice you made. I won't make you choose between your Clan and me this time."

Tigerheart: "I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

Dovewing: "Forgive you for what? We'll leave together."

—Tigerheart and Dovewing^{Tigerheart's Shadow, pages 292-293}

Tigerheart: "When I left ShadowClan, there was so little trust in the Clan. I'm worried that bringing traitors back will only make it worse."

Dovewing: "For a start, you have to stop thinking of them as traitors. They are clearly sorry for the choices they made. You're helping to reunite your Clan. You need to show by example that old wounds can heal and old arguments can be forgiven."

Tigerheart: "I thought I had nothing to learn from the guardian cats. But they've learned to live with change. It might be easier to live life the way it is now than to try to keep it the way it was."

Dovewing: "You're starting to sound like a leader."

—Tigerheart and Dovewing about ShadowClan^{Tigerheart's Shadow, page 343}

Alderheart: "I brought the deathberries with me from ThunderClan. I've been feeding the flesh to Puddleshine since I arrived."

Tigerstar: "You're as brave as a warrior. What if the deathberries had killed him?"

Alderheart: "It was a risk I had to take. He'd have died for sure if I hadn't given them to him."

Puddleshine: "I owe him my life."

Tigerstar: "Then we must thank you, Alderheart. ShadowClan honors your courage."

—Tigerstar about Alderheart's courage^{The Raging Storm, chapter 13}

Tigerstar: "But you have no proof that Juniperclaw poisoned him! A cat becomes sick and you blame us? Grassheart is lying in our medicine den now, injured by a wound inflicted by SkyClan. She was attacked! She didn't just happen to get sick after one of your patrols passed by."

Leafstar: "Passed by? You invaded our camp!"

Tigerstar: "And you attacked our patrol!"

Leafstar: "You were on our territory!"

—Tigerstar and Leafstar arguing^{The Raging Storm, page 188}

Tigerstar: "Are you suggesting that SkyClan become our neighbors again?"

Leafstar: "Do you have a problem with that?"

Tigerstar: "I can't think of anything better! We've put up with ThunderClan long enough. It'll be good to have a new Clan on our border."

Bramblestar: "ThunderClan will enjoy a break from ShadowClan as well."

—the Clan leaders joking after agreeing to move the borders^{The Raging Storm, pages 320-321}

"'We'? Don't you mean you? You've wanted cats to suffer since this began. You're using StarClan's silence as a way to divide the Clans!"

―Tigerstar arguing with Bramblestar's impostor ^{The Silent Thaw, page 179}

"A true warrior admits their mistakes."

―Tigerstar to Shadowsight ^{The Silent Thaw, page 253}

"Every cat has broken the code at some time, whether they meant to or not. What is important is a warrior's heart. If a warrior is loyal and honorable, who cares if they made a mistake in the past?"

―Tigerstar to Bramblestar's impostor ^{The Silent Thaw, page 264}

"I am leader of ShadowClan. I say what happens there."

―Tigerstar to Bramblestar's impostor ^{The Silent Thaw, page 265}

"He's got bees in his brain! You're Firestar's daughter. You've been loyal to ThunderClan your whole life. When I was young, I heard many tales of your courage during the Great Battle. What is Bramblestar thinking?"

―Tigerstar flabbergasted when he learns of Squirrelflight's exile ^{The Silent Thaw, page 301}

"The time has come to attack! Getting rid of that mangy interloper is worth the risk. We can never be sure we're strong enough, but this is the right thing to do, even if we may not win! We are warriors! Are we afraid of a cat who doesn't even have his own body?"

―Tigerstar to the rebels ^{Veil of Shadows, page 236}

"Well, I see now that Dovewing and I have to take a step back. Pouncestep and Lightleap are warriors now, and we have to accept that they might be badly injured in battle-or even killed. So I guess that goes for medicine cats too. Your battles aren't the same, but you still have to take risks for your Clan. I'm sorry I lost my temper. I'm proud of you."

―Tigerstar to Shadowsight about him, Pouncestep, and Lightleap ^{The Place of No Stars (book), chapter 21}

"Sorry, sorry. Which cat put the RiverClan camp so far away from ShadowClan!"

―The first of Tigerstar's jokes, though RiverClan is unamused ^{Shadow, chapter 7}

"I promise that my only purpose is to protect RiverClan and help them through this difficult time. I have no intention of becoming their leader myself. I don't even like fish."

―Tigerstar's second joke, prompting Harestar to end the Gathering ^{Shadow, chapter 17}
