Fireheart, every cat in the Clan can see that Sandstorm is very, very fond of you!
-Cinderpelt telling Fireheart that Sandstorm obviously likes him
I meant it when I said I wanted to come on this journey. But I want to share your mission. I want to understand why you need to help this Clan, and play an equal part in finding them.
-Sandstorm to Firestar
I love you, Sandstorm. You'll never be second-best for me. My love for you belongs here and now, in the life we share - and it will last for all the moons to come.
-Firestar to Sandstorm
Firestar's loyal mate, a good mother to Squirrelflight and Leafpool, she's the cat that won Firestar's heart after Spottedleaf died ... is this how Sandstorm will be remembered? She deserves far more than that, in my opinion.
-Rock on Sandstorm's life
You wait. I'll be the crankiest elder the Clans have ever seen. Mousefur will seem sweet and gentle next to me!
-Sandstorm to Firestar on the journey to a Gathering
Sandstorm had a quick temper and a strong sense of what was right, which Firestar respected. Next to his deputies and medicine cats, Sandstorm was the cat Firestar consulted most often before making any decisions for the Clan.
-Narrator
Sandstorm would have loved to have more kits, but she knew that Firestar had enough demands on him by the rest of the Clan. She shared his sense of responsibility to all the cats who lived in the hollow, and never wished that their lives could have been different.
-Narrator on Sandstorm
Sometimes Clan boundaries cause more damage than they're worth.
-Sandstorm in regards to Clan borders
I hold Sandstorm in higher esteem than I do almost any other Clan cat. She has traveled far from the days when she and Dustpaw tormented Rusty the kittypet. I hope Firestar appreciates her journey as much as she deserves."
-Rock
It wasn't your fault. It was my time to go. I sensed when I decided to go with you to search for SkyClan that I might not survive the journey. You know, I never wanted to spend my last days as an elder, sitting around in camp. I wanted to die doing something important... and your quest gave me the chance to relive a special memory with Firestar.
-Sandstorm to Alderpaw
