Quotes and Letters:
"When I was thirteen years old, I had a Voice from God to help me govern my conduct. And the first time I was very fearful. And came this Voice, about the hour of noon, in the summer-time, in my father's garden; I had not fasted on the eve preceding that day." - Joan of Arc, discussing her visions

Joan of Arc speaking to Robert de Baudricourt: "I have come to you on the part of my Lord, in order that you may send word to the Dauphin, to hold fast, and to not cease war against his enemies. Before mid-Lent the Lord will give him help. In truth, the kingdom belongs not to the Dauphin, but to my Lord. But my Lord wills that the Dauphin be made King, and have the kingdom in command. Notwithstanding his enemies, the Dauphin will be made King, and it is I who will conduct him to the coronation."

With her Captains still hesitating in battle, Joan of Arc told them:  "In God's name, we must fight them! If they were hung from the clouds we would have them; for God sends us to chastise them! The noble King will have today the greatest victory that he has had in a long time. And my counsel has told me that they (the enemy) are all ours."

"I am not afraid, for God is with me, I was born for this!" - famous quote by Joan of Arc.

"Dear and good friends: you well know how the town of Saint-Pierre-le-Moutier was taken by assault; and with God's help I intend to clear out the other places which are against the King. But because great expenditure of powder, projectiles, and other war materials had been made before the said town, and because myself and the lords who are at this town are so poorly supplied for laying siege to La Charité, where we are presently going, I beg of you, upon whatever love you have for the welfare and honor of the King and also all the others here, that you will immediately send and donate for the siege powder, saltpeter, sulfur, projectiles, stout crossbows, and other materials of war. And do well enough in this matter that the work will not drag out for lack of supplies, and that no one can say you were negligent or unwilling. Dear and good friends, may Our Lord protect you." - Letter to the people of Riom.

Joan of Arc's last words: "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!"
