“But the ocean chose you, and I believe you were chosen because of who you are--- not despite it." Moana's chest tightened. She thought of the first time she'd waded into the ocean's tide.

"I look at you and I see so much strength and pride--- and I know you're not a failure, so don't forget who you are.” OceanWho You AreChosenHeroineMoana Book:How Far I'll Go Source: How Far I'll Go
“The mother island wants you to know she can't give you a constellation like the demigod Maui has, but she can return Noelani's seeing stone to you--- restored by her own lava. She hopes that this pendant will serve as a reminder of your role and everything you've done for her and the rest of the ocean, so you, Moana of Motunui, can never forget who you are.” Who You AreGoddessHeroineReminderMoana Book:How Far I'll Go Source: How Far I'll Go
