“Everything I have said or done is in the hands of God.”

I saw them with my bodily eyes as clearly as I see you. And when they departed, I used to weep and wish they would take me with them.

If I am not, may God place me there; if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest in all the world if I knew that I were not in the grace of God. But if I were in a state of sin.

The angels are as perfect in form as they are in spirit.

Since God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King’s daughter,

I did not take this dress or do anything but by the command of Our Lord and of the Angels.

Do you think the Voice would come to me? I would that every one could hear the Voice as I hear it.

Four things are laid upon me: to drive out the English; to bring you to be crowned and anointed at Reims; to rescue the Duke of Orléans from the hands of the English; and to raise the siege of Orleans.

It is better to be alone with God. His friendship will not fail me, nor His counsel, nor His love.

Always stay near me, for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had, and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast.

The Maid and her soldiers will have the victory. Therefore the Maid is willing that you, Duke of Bedford, should not destroy yourself.

I answered the voice that I was a poor girl who knew nothing of riding and warfare.

But I must go, and I must do this thing, because my Lord will have it so. Rather now than tomorrow, and tomorrow than the day after!

Every man gives his life for what he believes … one life is all we have to live and we live it according to what we believe.

I am not afraid; I was born to do this.

It is true that the king has made a truce with the duke of Burgundy for fifteen days and that the duke is to turn over the city of Paris at the end of fifteen days.

I am the drum on which God is beating out his message.

It is the passions that do and undo everything.

If you turn a deaf ear to everything but one style, pretty soon it’s not going to work out.

This is the one and only reason why I was created. And this is the most essential realization, as it defines everything else I do or believe. It defines all things around me, and everything I experience in life.

The life of a person is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves.

My voice is like a car that I get into and drive but I don’t know where I’m going. And I record everything.

I listen to all types of music so I’m influenced by everything.

You run your life according to all this stuff that’s happened to you. All of your memories affect everything you do whereas with a computer, there’s adaptive software and things, but it’s more literal.

If I thought that I was doing it myself, the hole would close up and no power could come through. Then everything I could do would be foolish.
