''So, we lucky few. This band of brothers and sisters and anarchy, are witnessing the beginning of an era of true freedom. Together, we will forge a world without kings or queens, without borders or nations, where men's only allegiance is to himself and those he loves. We will return to the true balance of natural order.''

"You think freedom is something you can take or give on a whim. But to your people freedom is just as essential as...Air. And without it, there is no life. There is only....Darkness."

White Lotus Guard: You know the drill, Zaheer.
Zaheer: Of course.
White Lotus Guard: Hope you still like rice.
Zaheer: Have you ever read the poetry of the great airbending Guru Laghima?
White Lotus Guard: What?
Zaheer: Guru Laghima lived 4000 years ago in the Northern Air Tempel. It is said that he unlocked the secret of weightlessness and became untethered from the earth, living his final 40 years without ever touching the ground.
White Lotus Guard: Is that how you plan to escape, with something you picked up from an old airbender children story?
Zaheer: Like all great childrens tales, it contains truth within the myth. Laghima once wrote: "Instinct is a lie told by a fearfull body, hoping to be wrong."
White Lotus Guard: What's that supposed to mean?
Zaheer: It means, that when you base your expectations only on what you see, you blind yourself to the possibilities of a new reality."

Kya: You seem to know a lot about airbender history for someone who just got airbending.
Zaheer: I've always admired the culture.
Kya: And you moved through those gates like a natural. Where did you say you were from?
Zaheer: A small village up north. You've probably never heard of it.
