Top Andor Quotes



Doorman: No weapons. No comms. No credit. No nonsense.



B2EMO: I can lie. I have adequate power reserves.
Cassian: Don’t tell anybody you saw me. Don’t tell anybody you know where I am.
B2EMO: That’s two lies.
Cassian: Let’s have both.



Cassian: I knew I could count on you.
Brasso: I’m not lending you any money.
Cassian: I knew that too.



Bix Caleen: What happened to you?
Cassian: I fell.
Bix Caleen: On what? A jealous husband?



Maarva Andor: Cassian. What have you done?
Cassian: I messed up.



Syril Karn: There comes a time when the risk of doing nothing becomes the greatest risk of all.



Luthen Rael: I see three choices. Either you’re an Imperial spy, you’re fronting for the person I really want to speak to, or you’re the thing itself.
Cassian: I see one choice. Either you got my money or you don’t.



Luthen Rael: Takes more than that, doesn’t it?
Cassian: What? To steal from the Empire? What do you need? A uniform, some dirty hands, and an Imperial tool kit. They’re so proud of themselves, they don’t even care. They’re so fat and satisfied, they can’t imagine it.



Luthen Rael: Can’t imagine what?
Cassian: That someone like me would ever get inside their house. Walk their floors. Spit in their food. Take their gear.



Luthen Rael: The arrogance is remarkable, isn’t it? They don’t even think about us.
Cassian: Us? I don’t know you.



Luthen Rael: I know you. These days will end, Cassian Andor. The way they laugh. The way they push through a crowd. The sound of that voice telling you to stop, to go, to move. Telling you to die. Rings in the ear, doesn’t it?



Cassian: Who are you?
Luthen Rael: That’s the wrong question. The right question is how much time do we have to get out of here.


Andor

Luthen Rael: Special people are hard to find.



Luthen Rael: [to Cassian] Rule number one, never carry anything you don’t control.



Luthen Rael: [to Cassian] Rule number two, build your exit on your way in.



Luthen Rael: [to Cassian] Wouldn’t you rather give it all at once to something real, than carve off useless pieces till there’s nothing left?



Major Partagaz: Security is an illusion. You want security? Call the Navy. Launch a regiment of troopers. We are healthcare providers. We treat sickness. We identify symptoms. We locate germs whether they arise from within, or have come from the outside. The longer we wait to identify a disorder, the harder it is to treat the disease.



Lieutenant Supervisor Belvin: It took the combined ingredients of idiocy, ineptitude, and total disengagement for this farce to have reached the full apex of incredulous disaster.



Lieutenant Supervisor Belvin: You fall here, you fall alone.



Eedy Karn: Syril. You’re slouching. Is that how you’ve been presenting yourself to the world? It would explain a great deal. Being a leader isn’t something one just turns on and off. By the time you’ve remembered to sit up straight, it’s too late. You might as well wear a sign that says, “I promise to disappoint you.” It’s a shame we couldn’t have seen more of each other when you were flourishing. I’d have the memory to sustain me.



Eedy Karn: Any civilized being knows an open invitation is no invitation at all.



Arvel Skeen: “The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.” Now it’s our turn to do the chopping.



Cassian Andor: So, that’s it? That’s why you’re here? Revenge?
Arvel Skeen: Yeah, that’s good enough for now. 



Cassian Andor: Working with other people is never easy.
Arvel Skeen: Yeah. I didn’t mark you for a team player.
Cassian Andor: It always breaks at the weakest point.



Cassian Andor: I’m here to win and walk away.
Arvel Skeen: Wouldn’t that be lovely?



Karis Nemik: The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It’s easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident.



Karis Nemik: [referring to Cassian] You don’t trust him?
Arvel Skeen: I barely trust you.



Karis Nemik: Surprise from above is never as shocking as one from below.



Vel Sartha: [referring to Gorn] He fell in love with a local woman and lost a promotion. Then he lost the woman. Then he lost his taste for the Empire. Everyone has their own rebellion.



Arvel Skeen: I need to know who I’m riding with.
Cassian Andor: You know exactly who I am. And you know I’ll kill you for it!



Cassian Andor: Of course I’m afraid. But there’s a difference between fear and losing your nerve.



Luthen Rael: The thief. Andor. I wasn’t careful.
Kleya Marki: You wanted this to happen. This is what it took. It’s never going to be perfect.
Luthen Rael: I wanted it too much.



Kleya Marki: It’ll all be over this time tomorrow.
Luthen Rael: Or it’ll just be starting.
Kleya Marki: Or that.



Karis Nemik: Weapons are tools. Those that use them are, by extension, assets that we must use to our best advantage.


Andor

Karis Nemik: So you think it’s hopeless, do you? Freedom? Independence? Justice? We should just submit and be thankful? Just take what we’re given?
Cassian Andor: Do I look thankful to you?



Arvel Skeen: [to Cassian] Don’t play the high mind with me. You’re not here to save anybody but yourself. I saw it the first minute you came into camp. You’re just like me. We were born in the hole, all we know is climbing over somebody else to get out.



Eedy Karn: Everything says something, Syril. I’ve tried to make you understand that, you’ve resisted.
Syril Karn: What is it that you hear my collar saying?
Eedy Karn: “Look at me. I don’t believe in myself. I am desperate for approval.”



Luthen Rael: Revolutions are expensive.

All Andor Quotes



Luthen Rael: [to Mon Mothma] You’re not angry at me. I’m just saying out loud what you already know. There will be no rules going forward. If you’re not willing to risk your conscience, then surrender and be done with it.



Kleya Marki: Every loss is different. Every one’s the same.



Tay Kolma: Life takes us where it will.



Mon Mothma: [to Tay] What you see, what people say about me, it’s a clear picture, isn’t it? I’m a polite, sometimes indecisive Senator, who spends her days fighting and failing to protect Separatist do-gooders and battle Empire overreach. An irritation, as you so harshly put it.



Mon Mothma: It’s a lie. The Mon Mothma people think they know, it’s a lie. It’s a projection. It’s a front. Smile. I’ve learned from Palpatine. I show you the stone in my hand, you miss the knife at your throat.



Bix Caleen: You scam. You borrow. You lie. You disappear.
Cassian Andor: Your crazy boyfriend tries to get me killed, and I’m the villain?



Cassian Andor: We’ll find a place they haven’t ruined yet.
Maarva Andor: I’m already there. That place is in my head. They can build as many barracks as they like, they’ll never find me.



Maarva Andor: It’s overdue, and probably doomed, and I’m too old, and I don’t care anymore.



Cassian Andor: I won’t have peace. I’ll be worried about you all the time.
Maarva Andor: That’s just love. Nothing you can do about that. I’ve never loved anything the way I love you, and I’ve never fretted on anything more, but this time, you can’t stay, and I can’t go.



Kino Loy: [to Andor] Sick, injured, you talk to me. Problems with another inmate, I’ll know before you do. Losing hope, your mind, keep it to yourself. Don’t ever slow up my line.



Kleya Marki: We’re going loud. Vulnerability is inevitable.



Saw Gerrera: Aren’t you tired of playing behind the scenes, Luthen?
Luthen Rael: Aren’t you tired of fighting with people who agree with you?


Andor (TV Series)

Luthen Rael: Oppression breeds rebellion.



Luthen Rael: Anarchy is a seductive concept. A bit of a luxury I’d argue to a man who is hiding in cold caves, and begging for spare parts.



Vel Sartha: We’ve chosen a side. We’re fighting against the dark. We’re making something of our lives.



Syril Karn: [to Dedra] I thought I had ruined my life. I thought I was done. After meeting you and discovering, you understood how dangerous Cassian Andor was. Just being in your presence, I’ve realized that life is worth living. I realized that if nothing else, there was justice, and beauty in the galaxy. And if I just kept going, perhaps my deranged belief that there was something better fated for me in the future was a dream worth clinging to.


Andor

Cassian Andor: Power doesn’t panic.



Kino Loy: [to the other prisoners] They’re not letting us go. Ever. We’re going to die here, or in the next place. So let’s get out heads back in our cells, and start figuring this out.



Kino Loy: We are done with counting shifts. There is only then and now. There is only one way out. Play it how you want. But I’m going to assume I’m already dead, and take it from there.



Davo Sculdun: I know it’s tasteless and cliché, but one of the indulgences of great wealth is freedom from other people’s opinions.



Davo Sculdun: Boundaries can be liberating. The old ways have value.



Davo Sculdun: A drop of discomfort may be the price of doing business.



Davo Sculdun: [to Mon Mothma] Neither of us have lived a life that encourages nonconformity.


Andor TV Show

Kino Loy: I would rather die trying to take them down than giving them what they want.



Kino Loy: There is one way out. Right now, the building is ours. You need to run, climb, kill! You need to help each other. You see someone who’s confused, someone who is lost, you get them moving, and you keep them moving until we put this place behind us.



Kino Loy: There are five thousand of us. If we can fight half as hard as we’ve been working, we will be home in no time. One way out!



Cassian Andor: [as Kino is hesitating to jump into the water] What’s wrong?
Kino Loy: I can’t swim.



Luthen Rael: Even as you say the words, you know it’s impossible. We can’t let you go, Lonni. We can’t spare you. We’ve been grooming you for too long. And, yes, you’ve been alone. But your career has profited greatly from information that we’ve provided. Information that cost me dearly.



Supervisor Lonni Jung: And what do you sacrifice?
Luthen Rael: Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at inner peace. I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts.



Luthen Rael: I wake up every day to an equation I wrote fifteen years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there’s no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet.



Luthen Rael: What is my sacrifice? I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror, or an audience, or the light of gratitude.


Andor

Luthen Rael: So what do I sacrifice? Everything!



B2EMO: I don’t want to be alone. I want Maarva.



Kleya Marki: I don’t have lately. I have always. I have a constant blur of plates spinning, and knives on the floor, and needy, panicked faces at the window, of which you are but one of many.



Saw Gerrera: [to Luthen] There’s no way out alive. Of that you must be sure.



Saw Gerrera: For the greater good.
Luthen Rael: Call it what you will.
Saw Gerrera: Let’s call it war.


Andor Series

Clem Andor: The man who sees everything is more blessed than cursed.



Clem Andor: People don’t look down to where they should. They don’t look down, they don’t look past the rust. Not us though, eh? Eyes open, possibilities everywhere.



Karis Nemik: There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.



Karis Nemik: Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks. It leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.



Brasso: [to Cassian, referring to Maarva] Stop. She told me you’d say all this. “Tell him, none of this is his fault. It was already burning. He’s just the first spark of the fire. Tell him, he knows everything he needs to know, and feels everything he needs to feel. And when the day comes, and those two pull together, he will be an unstoppable force for good. Tell him I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong.”



Maarva Andor: I always wanted to be lifted. I was always eager, always waiting to be inspired. I remember every time it happened, every time the dead lifted me with their truth. And now I’m dead. And I yearn to lift you. Not because I want to shine, or even be remembered. It’s because I want you to go on. I want Ferrix to continue. In my waning hours, that’s what comforts me most.



Maarva Andor: But I fear for you. We’ve been sleeping. We’ve had each other, and Ferrix, our work, our days. We had each other, and they left us alone. We kept the trade lanes open, and they left us alone. We took their money and ignored them, we kept their engines churning, and the moment they pulled away, we forgot them. Because we had each other. We had Ferrix.



Maarva Andor: There is a wound that won’t heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it’s here. It’s here, and it’s not visiting anymore. It wants to stay.



Maarva Andor: The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we sleep. It’s easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it’s true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it’s too late. But I’ll tell you this, if I could do it again, I’d wake up early and be fighting these b****rds from the start. Fight the Empire!



Cassian Andor: You came here to kill me, didn’t you?
Luthen Rael: You don’t make it easy.
Cassian Andor: I will now.



Luthen Rael: What game is this?
Cassian Andor: No game. Kill me. Or take me in.
[Luthen puts down the weapon and smiles at Cassian]
