I'm currently working my way through all the books again so I'll be getting some Caedus/Legacy of the Force quotes when I get there!

quotes by Jacen . . .

"I'm going to sunburn every inch of my body."
(Vector Prime)

"Come to me, people. I will save you."
(Dark Tide I: Onslaught)

That choice feels right, and the Force is more about feeling than thinking.
(Onslaught)

Oh, no, it wasn't a vision. Or a dream. Just a nightmare...
(Onslaught)

That makes me just like everyone else, but I'm not. I'm special, I'm more responsible. Of course, every sixteen-year-old who's been convinced he's not like his peers probably thinks the same thing after he's proved he isn't so unlike his peers as he thinks he is.
(Onslaught)

You can put powerful engines on a sloop racer, but if the chassis doesn't have structural integrity, the whole thing falls apart.
(Onslaught)

Lesson one from this experience: Realize just how much you don't know. Lesson two: Make sure to learn from lesson one.
(Onslaught)

"A scar would make me more dashing, don't you think?"
(Onslaught)

"Friends tend to bring the best out in me."
(Onslaught)

"Your definition of fun and mine don't exactly match."
(Dark Tide II: Ruin)

"I renounce the need to know, now, what I will become later. In looking to my future, I have ignored the present and my role in it. The present is too critical for me to do that anymore."
(Ruin)

"'Jedi warmongers.' 'Servants of the dark side.' 'Corellia will live to see Coruscant die.' Here's one you'll like Anakin. 'Solos, go home.' Wait'll Dad gets wind of this."
(Agents of Chaos: Jedi Eclipse)

"The force isn't about waging war. It's about finding peace and your place in the galaxy."
(Jedi Eclipse)

"I slipped. I fell, barely on the dark side of... of the balance point. Everything started to slide. Everything."
(Balance Point)

"I don't care if they shave me."
(Balance Point)

"How many of you does it take to kill someone you call a coward?"
(Balance Point)

"I'm all pirate. I pillage; therefore I am."
(Edge of Victory II: Rebirth)

"It wouldn't surprise me if I'm under some kind of casual observation. I just came back from weeks of imprisonment at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong. Intelligence can't be sure I haven't switched side. ---Say hi to the satellites!!"
(Destiny's Way)

exchanges with Jacen . . .

Ganner: "I've heard the Pesktda Xenobotanical
Garden is worth seeing."
Corran: "Yeah, well, don't figure you're going to
get time to read all the exhibit signs."
(Ganner frowns, Jacen smiles.)
Jacen: "Hey, at least he thinks you can read."
(Dark Tide II: Ruin)

Jaina: "Are you even marginally aware of what's
going on around you?"
Jacen: "How about you? How's the vision coming back?"
Jaina: "Well, for one thing, I'd forgotten how big your nose and chin are getting."
(Balance Point)

Tsavong Lah: "Coward. Unworthy."
Jacen: "I'm just not stupid."
(Balance Point)

quotes about Jacen . . .

"Maybe Jacen's right about there being alternatives to fighting. His coming to it on his own makes it all the more significant. He thinks I've paid too much attention to the Force as a power, at the expense of understanding a more unifying Force. He's young, but he's a deep thinker." - Luke
(Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial)

"Jacen worries me." - Mara
(Balance Point)

Luke: "Nothing's serious, everyone's all right. But Han and Jacen's dome just got evacuated into Leia's. Some kind of infestation."
Anakin: "Jacen's probably collecting again."
(Balance Point)

"Don't worry about Jacen. He might seem fragile at times, but he's a survivor." - Leia
(Dark Journey)

"I'm more sure than ever that Jacen has a special destiny." - Luke (Destiny's Way)

Pellaeon: "Jacen seems to have inherited his parents' gift for escaping capture."
Han: "As well as our gift for getting captured in the first place."
(Destiny's Way)
