Quotes 

• Nausicaä : Every one of us relies on water from the wells, because mankind has polluted all the lakes and rivers. but do you know why the well water is pure? It's because the trees of the wastelands purify it! And you plan to burn the trees down? You must not burn down the toxic jungle! You should have left the giant warrior beneath the earth!... Asbel, tell them how the jungle evolved and how the insects are gaurding it so we won't pollute the earth again. Asbel please!

• Nausicaä : [Trying to calm a wild Teto]  There's nothing to fear...

  [tries to pet him, but he bites her and holds on, growling] 

  Nausicaä : [winces, but says calmly]  There's nothing to fear...

  [He calms and releases his bite and begins to lick it] 

• Nausicaä : It's so beautiful. It's hard to believe these spores could kill me.

• Nausicaä : [praying]  Please, dear God, please hear this prayer, you must protect the people of the Valley.
