"The key to Earthbending is your stance - you've gotta be steady and strong. Rock is a stubborn element. If you're going to move it, you've gotta be like a rock yourself."
― Toph Beifong to Aang (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
"Earth is the element of substance."
― Iroh to Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
"More rubble, less trouble."
― Heavy (Team Fortress 2)
