• Pocahontas : Did you find your Indies, John? You shall.

  Captain John Smith : [after a long reflective pause]  I may have sailed past them.

• [last lines] 

  Pocahontas : Mother, now I know where you live.

  John Rolfe : [reading letter]  "13th of April, 1616. Dear son, I write this so that someday in the future you might understand a circumstance which shall be but a far memory to you. Your dear mother, Rebecca, fell ill in our outward passage at Gravesend. She gently reminded me that all must die. 'Tis enough, she said, that you our child, should live.'"

• Pocahontas : Mother, where do you live? In the sky? The clouds? The sea? Show me your face. Give me a sign. We rise... we rise. Afraid of myself. A god, he seems to me. What else is life but being near you? Do they suspect? Oh, to be given to you. You to me. I will be faithful to you. True. Two no more. One. One. I am... I am.

• Pocahontas : [voiceover referring to John Rolfe]  He is like a tree. He shelters me. I lie in his shade.

• John Rolfe : I think you still love the man, and that you will not be at peace until you see him. In my vanity I thought I could make you love me, and one cannot do that or should not. You have walked blindly into a situation that you did not anticipate.

  Pocahontas : You are the man I thought you were and more.

• Pocahontas : [Rolfe wraps his arm around her waist from behind and kisses the back of her neck]  I cannot do that.

  John Rolfe : Why not?

  Pocahontas : It would mean something I do not feel.

  John Rolfe : What has come over you?

  Pocahontas : I am already married... to him. He lives. I heard it by the fort.

  John Rolfe : Married? You said you did not know the meaning of the word exactly.

  Pocahontas : But I am.

• [first lines] 

  Pocahontas : Come, spirit, help us sing the story of our land. You are our mother. We, your field of corn. We rise from out of the soul of you.

• Pocahontas : [voice over]  I will find joy in all I see.

• Pocahontas : What else is life but being near you!

• Pocahontas : He has killed the God within me,

• John Rolfe : [voice over]  Who are you, what do you dream of?

  Pocahontas : We are like grass.

• Pocahontas : [voiceover]  No, all is perfect, let me be lost.

• Pocahontas : [looking at a map for the first time]  Why does the Earth have colors?

• Pocahontas : [voiceover]  You flow through me, like a river.

• Pocahontas : [voice-over]  Dear mother, you fill the land with your beauty. You reach to the end of the world. How shall I seek you? Show me your face. You, a great river that never runs dry.

• Pocahontas : [voiceover]  Mother, why can I not feel as I should... must? Once false, I must not be again. Take out the thorn.

• John Smith : Who are you?

  Pocahontas : Who are you?

  John Rolfe : Who are you?

• Pocahontas : What else is life but being near you? Do they suspect? Oh, to be given to you; you to me. I will be faithful to you. True.
