"Maybe down the line I can go home and see them all, once I've had a couple centuries to master my powers... and... some of them... might not be there. Not everyone lives that long."

"Elrond: I journeyed here to see my friend, whom I've greatly missed.
Durin IV shouting: Missed? You missed my wedding. The birth of my children, two of them! You cannot barge into my mountain and demand I welcome you with open arms. You cannot claim that which you discarded.
Elrond: Discarded? Durin, I...
Durin IV: Twenty years might be the blink of an eye to an Elf. But I've lived an entire life in that time. A life you missed.

"I had a best friend. Milla. We met when she was a child. I would swim out of the domain all the time to visit her. We'd play, I trained her in using spears. She was my closest friend for a long time... As the years passed, she grew old, and I didn't. Eventually, she couldn't use spears, she couldn't even swim that well. She died of old age while I was still physically a teenager."

"If you choose the armor, you’ll return to your friend The Mandalorian, however you will be giving in to those that you love and forsaking the way of the Jedi. But if you choose the lightsaber, you will be the first student in my academy, and I will train you to be a great Jedi. It will take you many years to master the ways of the Force, and you may never see the Mandalorian again, because, Grogu, a short time for you is a lifetime for someone else."

Keff was like the other half of her soul. Shellpeople had good memories but not infallible ones. In three hundred, four hundred years, would she even be able to remember him? Would she want to, lest the memory be as painful as the anticipation of such loss was now? "If I find them after you're... well, I'll make sure they're named after you," she vowed silently. That immortality at least she could offer him.

"Going on this journey with you guys made me realize again... with the way things are none of you will be around five hundred years from now. Even though we worked so hard to save Falin, in a few decades she too would... But I'd still be here one hundred years later! Five hundred years later! I just want the chance to see you guys again, to have a chat together, and to share a meal together!"
— Marcille Donato, Delicious in Dungeon
