Mowgli[edit]

  • I am of the jungle. Their lair is my lair. Their trail is my trail. Their fight is my fight.
  • Quiet, you grinning black shadow! Quiet, grey brother. This is not our kill.

Buldeo[edit]

  • What is the book of life itself but man's war with nature? The struggle between village and jungle!
  • We're going to have a marketplace, and a temple, and a mighty city. Aye, we'll have all that if we can beat the jungle. But have you in your hundred years seen man win a war with nature?
  • Verily, you would have all of India in your picture. Nay, you would have the book of the jungle to read in my eyes.
