"You know there are two kinds of tears. Tears for those who leave you and tears for those who you never let go. And I won’t say goodbye to you Xena, ‘cause we’ll be together again one day."
-Gabrielle in “The Quest (via the-destroyer-of-nations)
- Gabrielle: "So Zeus, in his appreciation, turned the two lovers into oak trees. And then do you know what happened?"
- Xena: "Somebody built a boat out of them?"
- Gabrielle: "No, their branches intertwined and they spent the rest of their days in each other's embrace."
- Xena: "What's the point?"
- Gabrielle: "Come on, Xena. I believe everyone will find their tree in the forest someday. Even you."
- Xena: "I find the strongest trees in the forest stand alone."
- Gabrielle: "You don't have to be strong all the time, Xena. Sometimes it's good for the soul to be soft."
