I changed. That's the final piece. All those struggles, I learned from them, and I grew! Oh my gosh! It's not just my Gem powers I've forgotten! All this "Happily Ever After" stuff has made me forget the first power I ever had! The power to change! | ” |

Proposed Quote:

I think maybe Cookie Cat had run out of ways to grow on his home planet. And even though it must’ve been hard, and he loved his family so, so much, maybe he had to leave to keep moving forward. | ” |

Yes, I'm aware I've already made a vote to change Steven's quote before, only last time it was to "Be The Steven you want to see in the world". Needless to say, that didn't work out and looking back on it, I can see why to a certain extent.
I'll admit that I was reaching a bit when explaining why it was representative of Steven's arc and deserved to take the place of the movie quote. Basically, my explanation wasn't very good. However, I think the quote I'm proposing now does represent Steven's arc, and more explicitly than the previous one.
The proposed quote is Steven explaining his journey and motivations in "The Future", but through the perspective of Cookie Cat (still clearly referring to himself). Now I know it being from Cookie Cat's perspective may turn off some people, but if you think about it, it makes Steven's arc come full-circle. The franchise started with Cookie Cat, so making the discontinued frozen treat the focus of Steven's character quote, plus it representing Steven's journey and reason for leaving Beach City, it's very cathartic in my opinion.
Unlike the previous Steven character quote vote, I don't want to completely abandon the movie quote, as it's still very important and meaningful to Steven's character and arc, I just think it needs to be updated to fit Steven's current journey and arc in Future. This is not only a vote to change Steven's quote on the main part of his article, but to move the movie quote down to the Personality section during the paragraph about the movie. This way, Steven's more recent character-representative quote can be at the front of the page, while the still significant movie quote isn't abandoned and instead moved to a more appropriate place in the article.
Vote Support if you agree with the quote change/move, or vote Oppose if you disagree with both the quote change/move.
