Ugh, I don't like Pinestar. I don't like how he thinks he can just leave his Clan for the kittypet life, which is against the warrior code. He's like "Oh, I have a Clan to lead, and a mate and newborn kits, but na, I'm just going to throw all that away because I have one life leaf, just like the rest of you." I mean, he was a fine leader in the beginning, but he made some stupid decisions in his life, and that's why I dislike him. But, he's next on my list, so looks like I have to do this.

"Pinestar's a wily old cat. He's up to something, but no cat's crossed his borders. He's just stirring up trouble for his own reasons." Shellheart Crookedstar's Promise, page 243

"I remember my first battle. Sweetbriar insisted I eat a shrew, but I hid it when her back was turned and then told her it was delicious." - Pinestar to Bluepaw Bluestar's Prophecy, page 104

"The four Clans will be enemies until the end. And yet we all want the same things: prey to hunt, a safe territory to raise our kits, and peace to share dreams with our ancestors. Why must we hate one another over such simple desires?" - Pinestar to Bluefur Bluestar's Prophecy, page 244

"The warrior code exists for a reason. ThunderClan cats don't eat fish, don't catch fish, don't swim, don't have anything to do with the river at all." - Pinestar to White-eye and Dappletail Bluestar's Prophecy, page 244

Poppydawn: "About time, too... If his kits had died in the night, they'd have gone to StarClan without ever meeting their father."

Swiftbreeze: "Poor Leoaprdfoot. She kept asking for him. What must she think?" - Poppydawn and Swiftbreeze talking about Pinestar, his mate, and kits Bluestar's Prophecy, page 273

"Do we really want a leader who no longer wishes to lead?" - Lionpaw to ThunderClan about Pinestar's choice to leave Bluestar's Prophecy, page 308

Leopardfoot: "Pinestar, what about your kits? Won't you stay to watch them grow up?"

Pinestar: "They'll be fine with you, Leopardfoot. I'm not a father they could be proud of, but I will always be proud of them. Especially you, little warrior. Be strong, my precious son. Serve your Clan well." - Pinestar to Leopardfoot and their kits, before he leaves ThunderClan Bluestar's Prophecy, pages 310-311

"With this life I give you compassion. Judge as much with your heart as with your mind." - Pinestar giving Bluefur a life Bluestar's Prophecy, page 500

Tigerclaw: "Pinestar!"

Pinestar: "Yes, although that is not the name I had when I died."

Tigerclaw: "Because you were a kittypet."

Pinestar: "That was the choice for my final life. But I walk with our ancestors tonight to give you a life for being aware of what goes on beyond Clan borders. There are good cats everywhere, Tigerclaw. Do not forget that."

Tigerclaw: "I will be loyal to my Clanmates above all others."

Pinestar: "The warrior code demands nothing less. But do not assume that every other cat is an enemy or unable to help you in some way. I am proud of you, my son. When I left the forest, I thought I would never see you again. But here you are, leader of ShadowClan. Perhaps not the choice I would have made, but you have traveled a hard path to get here, and you deserve your reward." - Pinestar giving his son, Tigerclaw, one of his nine lives The Ultimate Guide, page 92-93

"I have been honored to serve you this long. The rest of my life will be spent as a kittypet, where I have no battles to fight, no lives depending on me for food and safety." Pinestar announcing that he's leaving ThunderClan in Bluestar's Prophecy, page 308
