->''"It had all been a ruse. [[ComicBook/LexLuthor Luthor]] was evil as ever, and this was his chance of a lifetime. '''[[CutLexLuthorACheck The man had cured cancer]]''', just to lull Franchise/{{Superman}} into a false sense of security. That, my friends, is evil."''

->''"Mages born with inverted Avatars have absolutely no compunction about using their enemies' weaknesses against them, and in dealing with [[EnfantTerrible widderslainte]], compassion is definitely [[VirtueIsWeakness a weakness]]. There have been too many cases when a cabal on the verge of destroying a Nephandus was sweet-talked into showing pity because their would-be target "[[FreudianExcuse had been raised wrong]]" or "[[SympathyForTheDevil had never been shown what being good could be like]]." Showing mercy in circumstances like this is invariably repaid with blood and treachery. Widderslainte cannot be redeemed by anything short of an Oracle or an Archmage, and maybe not even by them - but there's always another sucker willing to try.\\
For that, the widderslainte and their [[EldritchAbomination hungry masters]] are quite thankful."''

->''"[[DemonicPossession Formori]] [[WasOnceAMan were human... once]]. That means they might try to appeal to your humanity. And that hurts, especially if you're homid. [[CommonalityConnection You know what it's like to become a monster]]. You remember what happened when you lost your normal life and got drafted into a war you didn't want. You can sympathize. Well, if you take that moment to consider, that formor might just pull out a silver knife and cut your throat, or whip out some new power and kill you with it, or escape and return with backup. I know it may sound cruel, but even if the formor wants to regain his humanity, as far as I know there ain't a way to do it. You want to be humane? [[MercyKill Kill the bastard quickly]]."''

->"Like the gullible fools they are, the people of this village nursed me back to health when they should have killed me as the agent of the Anti-God that I had sworn to become. Only these fools had seen me weak and helpless, and so I paid them back for their kindness... by summoning forth the great poisonous serpents which were mine to control."

'''Trevelyan:''' Once again, your faith is misplaced. They knew. [[NotSoDifferent We're both orphans, James.]] But where your parents had the luxury of dying in a climbing accident, [[ShadowArchetype mine]] survived the British betrayal and [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII Stalin's execution squads]], but my father couldn't let himself or my mother [[SurvivorGuilt live with the shame of it]]. [=MI6=] figured I was too young to remember, and in one of life's little ironies, [[CreateYourOwnVillain the son]] went to work for the government whose betrayal caused the father to kill himself and his wife.\\

'''[[spoiler:Boxxyfan]]:''' A second chance... Thank you, Catie. I'm truly grateful that you'd do this for me. Maybe I've been misjudging you... But there's just one thing... (''stabs her'') '''I'm not as 'tragic' as you think.''' Whatever your intentions were, you're still the one who ruined my life. I can't just forgive and forget, and even if I did, what makes you think this wouldn't happen all over again? After all these years, I'm going to fulfill my destiny, by ridding the world of you. '''...Now ''die.'''''
