“Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.”
― William Goldman, The Princess Bride

“Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!”
― Donquixote Doflamingo

“It was like walking into a treasure trove of books, hoarded by pirate librarians.”

“--Hero!? Forget it! We're Pirates! I love heroes but I don't wanna become one! Do you even know what it takes to be a Hero!?
Lets say you have some meat okay? Now a Pirate would chomp down on that bad boy, but a hero would share it with everyone!! I want to eat meat!""--Hero!? Forget it! We're Pirates! I love heroes but I don't wanna become one! Do you even know what it takes to be a Hero!?

“Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all”
― Johnny Depp

“Perhaps the wolf wasn't quite so dangerous as he pretended. Unfortunately, there was only one way to find out for sure——give him a little rope and see if he hung himself.

And pray that he didn't tie her up with it instead.”
― Sabrina Jeffries, Dance of Seduction

“Of course you had a choice, Riden. You just had a hard one. And you chose the easy option, which was to do nothing.”
― Tricia Levenseller, Daughter of the Pirate King

“When you're young, you think the world will make room for who you are and what you want.... And then you find the world of adults is even more limiting than the world of children. With no room for adventure, much less yer own thoughts.”
― Liz Braswell, Straight On Till Morning

“A thief plays the game only when they think they’ll win. A pirate plays the game even when they think they’ll lose.”

“Mr. Bird flung his food away and leaped to his feet, glaring around at no one in particular. 'I am not a dog!' he shouted agrily, his gold earrings flashing in the firelight.”

“Shandy looked ahead. Blackbeard, apparently willing to get the explanation later, had picked up his oars and was rowing again.
'May I presume to suggest,' yelled Shandy giddily to Davies,
'that we preoceed the hell out of here with all due haste.'
Davies pushed a stray lock of hair back from his forehead and sat down on the rower's thwart. 'My dear fellow consider it done.”
― Tim Powers, On Stranger Tides

“As touching Slave-ships meeting, why, they are in such a prodigious hurry, they run away from each other as soon as possible. And as for Pirates, when they chance to cross each other's cross-bones, the first hail isâ€� "How many skulls?"â€� the same way that whalers hailâ€� "How many barrels?" And that question once answered, pirates straightway steer apart, for they are infernal villains on both sides, and don't like to see overmuch of each other's villanous likenesses.”
― Herman Melville, Moby Dick

“The wooden ship objected with loud creaks as the heavy wind strained its sails to the limits, pushing it forwards through the waves. A rather petite vessel, it was the smallest she’d sailed. It was old and worn, too. Nora looked up at the yellowed sails fondly. It was a miracle that they’d lasted this long, cooperating with the buffeting winds without rest for many seasons now. And Nora and the ship had been through some strong gales together. Excellent craftsmanship, Nora thought and, as she often did, pondered the ship’s origins: who’d made it and what waters it’d sailed before she stole it.
She’d been certain that the ship wouldn’t last long on the high seas, and that she’d soon have to find a replacement, but she’d been pleasantly surprised. Her ship might not cover vast distances in as short a time as the bigger, heavier sailing ships she was used to, but Nora could turn Naureen around or change direction in a matter of minutes. She could swiftly put distance between her and the ships she plundered. Sometimes, it seemed as if the ship responded to her thoughts, as if there was a weird invisible bond between the two of them.
‘Naureen. Us sailor gals must stick together,� she said aloud, as if the ship could hear her. Nora always talked to her ship. Clearly a sign she’d been on the sea for too long, she mused.
Naureen. Nora didn’t know who’d named the ship or what the name meant, but she thought it strangely fitting. It graced the bow of the ship, painted in beautiful calligraphy. Nora saw it whenever she was aboard another vessel, rummaging for furs or bones of extinct animals she could sell, or food. The sight of her ship always made her heart flutter with happiness. There was a time when Nora would steal the ships she plundered, if she liked them and was in the mood for a change. But not after she stole Naureen. Well, not stole, she corrected herself. When she’d come across the tiny ship, she’d found the salt-rimed corpse of the hollow-cheeked owner sprawled face down on the deck. He’d probably starved to death. His body had not been the first one Nora’d found drifting at sea, nor the last.”

“Le juré a tu madre que te mantendría a salvo. No hay ningún sitio más peligroso en este mundo para ti que a mi lado.”

“Hide things everywhere. Forget about them. Find them randomly and feel surprised like a pirate finding buried treasure. Avoid scurvy. Love more.”

“I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly...stupid."
- Jack Sparrow”
― Pirates of the Caribbean(film)

“And for a Quay thief, there was only one place to go to learn anything about anything: Ad and Tad’s pie shop.”

“What are you doing here?â€� he mumbled.
“Um, you asked me to follow you?� Marrill said. The wizard chuckled. “Not you,� he said, continuing downward. “I meant the Promenade Deck.� He waved his hand over his shoulder at the floor they’d just passed. “You’ll have to watch out for that one—it likes to walk off. Best to stay away from it. Never know where it’ll end up; sometimes it up and heads to another ship.�
“Um…â€� Her words faltered. “How do I know which one’s the Promenade Deck?â€� He glanced up at her, forehead furrowed. “It’s the one that moves.”
― Carrie Ryan, The Map to Everywhere

“Exasperated, Marrill rolled her eyes. “Probably? That doesn’t make any sense.â€� He grinned. “Welcome to the Pirate Stream.”
― Carrie Ryan, The Map to Everywhere

“Pryia tinha marcado um encontro inadiável da lâmina da sua faca com o coração do canalha que havia partido o seu.”

“The Pirate Code by Stewart Stafford

Highwaymen of the high seas,
Outlaws of the oceans deep,
Plundering the crown's gold,
They may hang us as we sleep.

Home is but a distant memory,
Friends are anyone we can find,
Turncoats walk the plank slowly,
Or are keelhauled with jellyfish in brine.

The Robin Hoods of seaweed spray,
We rob the rich to give to ourselves,
Growing fat on finest grog and food,
And make pieces of eight into twelve.

“Rysen looked like he was about to pass out when he saw how much weight you’ve lost.â€� I’ve lost weight? I snort and take his hand.

“Charming. You know you’re not supposed to mention a lady’s weight to her, right?�

“I’m a pirate, not a gentleman.â€� He pulls me up. “You want nice words and manners? Ask Kier or Klaus.”
― Marie Mistry, Pirate Witch

“She was so sick of itâ€� sick and tired of being told to sit down and shut up, that she couldn't fight or sail or wear pants or study the seas and skies because she was a girl. To hell with it, she thought. No one could stop her anymore.”
