69	->'''[[ReformedCriminal Weaver]]:''' I feel... afraid, because I'm starting to think that maybe my power isn't entirely under my control. There's a monster taking up real estate in my brain, deciding to use my power when I don't want to, and I'm pretty sure it's been getting more effective over time.\
70	'''Dr. Yamada:''' Is this monster metaphorical?\
71	'''Weaver:''' That's a ''very'' good question. Is it just me? Or is it my 'passenger', [[EldritchAbomination some inscrutable life form from a parallel universe]] that decided to give me powers, [[RequiredSecondaryPowers currently helping me manage those powers so my brain doesn't overheat]]? Or is there even a distinction? Did my [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening trigger event]] fuse us to the point that the line is blurred beyond recognition?\
72	'''Yamada:''' I can see where the idea would be frightening. I've heard of some of these things, though the particulars and names differed. We don't know enough about them, about powers, even, and the unknown is daunting, especially when it affects you as deeply as your power seems to affect you. This lack of control, it--\
73	'''Weaver:''' If I tell you I'm dangerous, that I'm going to hurt someone, intentionally or by accident, are you obligated to report it?\
74	'''Yamada:''' Yes, if the risk is grave. Forgive me for asking, but are you going to hurt someone? Accidentally or otherwise?\
75	'''Weaver:''' No. But it makes me wonder if something like that is a possibility.

79	-->-- '''Harvey''', ''Series/{{Farscape}}''
80
81	->'''Prince:''' Your words are empty, have ''always'' been empty. You are just a desperate, selfish spirit!\
82	'''[[SuperpoweredEvilSide Dark Prince]]:''' If I am selfish, Prince, it is because ''you'' are. If I am ruthless and reckless and lacking in morals, it is because ''you'' are! I did not spin myself out of the ether! I was not conjured by some mad Vizier! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. Am.]] ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis You!]]''

98	'''Starfire:''' What? Like an evil twin?\
99	'''Supergirl:''' I... don't know. More like it was part of me.\
100	'''Starfire:''' I have a sister. They call her '''Blackfire'''. I feel like I'm responsible for '''every''' bad thing she does.\
101	'''Supergirl:''' Yeah, well, in '''this''' case... I think I am.\
102	'''Starfire:''' Do you know where this... "she" is?\
103	'''Supergirl:''' I do. She's been in my head... Maybe... '''All my life'''.\

108	->'''Brian Newman:''' When I was a kid, I had this {{imaginary friend}} called Big Winner. He was like my shadow come to life. He was the one who [[RealityWarper fixed things]] for me... [[PowerIncontinence whether I wanted them fixed or not]]. He seemed very real to me... for a long time. And the older I got, the worse he became.\
109	'''Dr. Mahorta:''' The anomaly in your brain is connected to an overdeveloped amygdala, a more primitive part of the mind. The part of you that can distort reality -- this Big Winner -- is undoubtedly very [[PsychopathicManchild Id-like. Impulsive. Childish]]. A sort of negative image of yourself. You seem like a decent, thoughtful guy... [[JekyllAndHyde which means your Big Winner isn't, unfortunately]]. But he's not going to win this time, Brian. ''You'' are.\
110	'''Brian:''' I hope you're right... for both our sakes.

115	'''Kilgrave:''' [[NoSell Cobalt Lane]]. I know all the quaint side-streets of your mind, Jessica. Every dark little alley.\
116	'''Jessica:''' ...I just need sleep...\
117	'''Kilgrave:''' I'll be in your dreams, too. ''I'm inside you forever...''

141	->''"What foes are we to meet in battle that we have not vanquished in the shadows of the human soul? What Daemons scream that have not cried to us from the dark places of the mind? What fear have we of death who know there is immortality in the great and noble deeds of men?"''
142	-->-- '''The First Book of Indoctrinations'''
143
144	->''"There is no foe more rank or malefic than the traitor. We rightly abhor the traitor that leads the enemy to our gate. We revile him for the annihilation of worlds and the murder of innocents. We each loathe him for the harm that he does to us. The scars that we bear remind us to keep our hatred bitter.\
145	What hatred have we for the traitor within? No, I mean not the traitor that hides amongst us. For it is our very flesh that is the greatest of traitors, the betrayer who corrupts and weakens us more than any other foe. It is the enemy within that we harbor unknowingly. His name is mutant, witch and deviant. He is the foe that will destroy us as no other can. He leads us before a hellish throne to dance enfeebled and imbecilic for the lewd pleasures of dark gods.\
146	Burn the mutant and the heretic that shelters him! Burn the witch and those that worship him! Burn the deviant and those tainted by him! Let their deaths purify us so that in dying their bodies serve mankind as in life they never could.\
147	All men, women, and children throughout the Imperium carry within them the twin seeds of our defeat. The unstable gene is a mutant beast waiting to erupt; the unstable thought a Heretic Apparent. The Mutant bears his Heresy on the outside; the Traitor hides his in his soul. Trust no one! Fear all! Any one of your fellows may carry the Mark. The Will of the Emperor alone cannot protect you. You must be strong! You must join the crusade and take your place in the unceasing struggle!\
148	Against whom will the battle at the end of time be fought?\
149	Know only that it will not be against enemies from without."''
