''"My great-grandchildren will have as much eastern blood in them as many of your people, I imagine. I think of it like this: For a plant to survive...I imagine doubly so in your home, it must have the support of all its roots. If I were to make Clifford and his siblings abandon their mother's side of their blood, it would be akin to ripping up half the roots from under the plant, cutting them off, and replanting it like that. Maybe it could survive in that condition...but it could never prosper missing so much of itself, of what it needs to keep strong. Clifford and Alanna and Tylarra, they need to know to embrace the whole of their heritage, not just this part or that part, you know what I mean?"'' — Theo Cafferen to Quentyn [[House Dryland|Dryland]].

''"Stay clear Poplar! I'll tell you what I was taught to do ... they taught me to swim!!!"'' — Theo Cafferen to Poplar, the [[Child of the Forest]], before he jumped off the edge of a cliff into the blue lake below.

''"Thank you, Poplar...really. I appreciate you, more than you know."'' — Theo Cafferen to Poplar, the Child of the Forest.

''"I'm not saying that I don't sympathize with your cause. I can see the logic of your argument, yet...none of us can see the future, my Prince. Maybe things will work out better than you suppose. I hope they will, anyway."'' — Theo Cafferen to Garth Gardener, the White Faction's claimant to the throne of the Reach after he requested Theo's assistance in his rebellion.

''"It's just the stress...thinking about things I shouldn't...I'm alright."'' — Theo Cafferen to his wife, the Princess Gwenna Gardener, after she grew concerned that Theo had fainted.

== Quotes about Theo ==

''"Endeavor not to throw your life away in defense of your grandsire’s honor. I have said far worse to the man’s face. He would laugh to hear me speak these words now.”'' — Poplar, the Child of the Forest, to Clifford Cafferen after he reacted badly to Poplar calling him Theo's 'Whelp'.

''“I knew your father for many decades, since he was not much older than you, and I treasured his friendship dearly ... I mourned the end of his Song. No message reached me, yet I felt the shift in the wind. He had warned me, when last we met, that it might be his final visit. I had hoped he was wrong…”'' — Poplar, the Child of the Forest, to Clifford Cafferen.

''“But you are a good man, Theo. One my people would be lucky to meet. When you next make your way to Highgarden, I shall see it done. A feast—perhaps even a festival.”'' — Poplar, the Child of the Forest, to Theo Cafferen.

''"You have been gracious despite our people’s differences; despite the distance that separates our lands, you have shown yourself to be a wise Magnar, for an Andal, that is. I have met much of your people on behalf of my weg. Most have seen our people as little more than savage barbarians. To ask of my people and our ways, to try to do your best to accommodate my weg when the time comes for the wedding, while your home is a strange and unsettling place, I am sure my weg will be appreciative of such thoughts."'' — Quentyn Dryland to Theo Cafferen.
