“Lockheed! You found me! You are the best X-Dragon ever.”

“If you see the dragon fly,best you drink the flagon dry.”—Zarost”

“To leave the world a little better than you found it. That's the best a man can ever do.”

“Loving you is the best of the worst that’s ever happened to me.”

“And what lesson can we draw from Volantene history?”“If you want to conquer the world, you best have dragons.”

“The thing to recall about Dragons is that it takes a special person to deal with them at all. If you lie to them they will steal from you. If you attack them without cause they will dismember you. If you run from them they will laugh at you. It is thus best to deal calmly, openly and fairly with Dragons: Give them all they buy and no more or less, and they will do the same by you. Stand at their back and they will stand at yours. Always remember that a Dragon is first a Dragon and only then a friend, a partner, a lover. Never assume that you have discovered a Dragon's weak point until it is dead and forgotten, for joy is fleeting and a Dragon's revenge is forever.”
