6->'''Frank Costello:''' Church wants you in your place. Kneel, stand, kneel, stand.... If you go for that sort of thing, I don't know what to do for you. A man makes his own way. No one gives it to you: you have to ''take'' it. Non serviam.\
7'''Collin Sullivan:''' Creator/JamesJoyce.\
8'''Frank Costello:''' Smart, Collin.
9-->-- ''Film/TheDeparted''

11->'''L:''' You need someone to be your right hand, someone to help you. A Crown Princess. The normal process is to find out what colleagues are in prison or are drug addicts, and thereby unable to fulfill their roles as parents. Then you find out where their kids play football, and you get involved. You cheer them on for a couple of years, no matter how bad they are -- actually, the worse, the better. That way, gradually you take on the role of the parent until, in the end, you have a loyal helper that will walk through fire for you.\
12'''Joe:''' It sounds like a kind of entrapment you're suggesting. An unsavory entrapment.\
13'''L:''' [[DirtyBusiness Call it what you want.]] [[FamilyValuesVillain But if you believe at all in the effects of good parenting]], that kid will have much greater opportunities with you as a mentor than without.

16->'''[[VillainProtagonist Jordan Belfort]]:''' I gotta say, I'm incredibly excited to be a part of your firm. I mean, the clients you have are absolutely-\
17'''[[TheBarnum Mark Hanna]]:''' [[WhamLine Fuck the clients]]. Your only responsibility is to put meat on the table. You got a girlfriend?\
18'''Jordan:''' I... I'm married. My wife, her name's Theresa, she cuts hair.\
19'''Mark:''' [[AffablyEvil Congratulations]]. \
20'''Jordan:''' Thank you.\
21'''Mark:''' [[LoveMakesYouEvil Think about Theresa]]. Name of the game: move the money from your client's pocket into ''your'' pocket.\
22'''Jordan:''' Right... but if you can make a client's money at the same time, then it's advantageous for everyone, correct?\
23'''Mark:''' [[BluntNo No]].

27->'''Boris Dragosani:''' You want me to be... a scholar?\
28'''[[OurVampiresAreDifferent Thibor Ferenczy]]:''' Yes. When I walk this world again I would speak with learned men, not village idiots! Oh, I shall teach you, Dragosani — and far more than any tutors in Ploiesti. Much knowledge you shall have from me — and in my turn I shall doubtless learn from you. But how shall you teach me if you yourself are ignorant?\
29'''Boris:''' You've said as much before. But what can you teach me? You know so little of things as they are now. How can you know more? You've been dead - undead - [[SealedEvilInACan in the ground, anyway]] - for five hundred years, you said so yourself!\
30'''Thibor:''' No fool you, Dragosani. Well, and perhaps you are right. Ah, but there are other seats of knowledge and other sorts of knowledge. Very well, I have [[SuperEmpowering a gift]] for you. A gift... and a sign that indeed I can teach you things. [[TheDarkArts Things you cannot possibly imagine]].

33->''"What? Do you reproach me for being cold? You? You should know. I am what you have made me. Take all the praise, take all the blame; take all the success, take all the failure; in short, take me."''
34-->-- '''Estella''', ''Literature/GreatExpectations''
35
36->It was [[TheFagin Ellis]], my diffident ally — the only person I have ever met who seemed capable of flourishing in any given situation — who taught me the basic rules of commerce: To always first assess things at their true value, then [[ManipulativeBastard gauge exactly how much extra a person in desperate circumstances would be willing to pay for them]].\
37And her lessons have stood me in good stead, during all these intervening years. At the age of sixty-six, I remain not only still alive, [[CorruptCorporateExecutive but a rather rich man]], to boot.

40->[[AboveGoodAndEvil The True Path]] is power. Power to build and power to destroy. You have your magic, but true power does not come merely from being born with the gift. True power comes from one place only: your inner self. Strength, determination, force of will: these are what distinguish [[EvilSorcerer a Dark mage]], a True mage, from a dabbler. To be willing to rise higher or sink lower than your enemy, to know that no one is above you... that is the True Way. Your greatest enemies are fear and compassion. [[VirtueIsWeakness Both are weakness]], and weakness is death. [[TrainingFromHell I do not expect all of you to succeed]]. Some will prove weak, in body or mind or will, and if you have a weakness I will find it. But those of you who earn the right to call yourself Dark mages, who become disciples of the True Way, will be power incarnate. Lessers will speak of you in fear and envy. No one will be able to stand against you, and your words will be as the voice of God.

44->''"You cannot hide your thoughts from me, Nicholas. I'm afraid I was a poor teacher in that area. (Or perhaps we skipped those lessons.)"''

47->'''Peter Petrelli:''' Do you know me?\
48'''Adam Monroe:''' Of course I know you. It's me, Adam. Don't you remember? You and I are going to change history.

51->''"Mr. Miyagi always told me there was no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teacher. And your dad had the worst teacher there ever was."''

62->''"Wealthy parents place their children in your hands so they will be successful when they grow up. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor You give them what they want]]. Children leave [[AcademyOfEvil your school]] as Setites in spirit; you introduce the most promising to the actual [[ReligionOfEvil worship of Set]]. All of your pupils soon revere you as their mentor. As graduates of your school move up the ranks of business, government and academia, your [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections web of influence]] grows. Thus do you serve the Dark God."''
63-->-- '''The Schoolmaster of Sin,''' ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade - Clanbook: Followers of Set (revised)''

65->[[TheArchmage Aswadim]]: the bodhisattvas of the void. Teachers and sages, the aswadim prefer to interfere with mages' magickal development rather than tamper with their day-to-day affairs. An aswad never announces himself as such. He merely finds a way to get close to a promising [[EvilSorcerer Nephandus]] and takes the student under his wing. When he feels the student has learned enough, [[StealthHiBye the aswad vanishes]], rarely (if ever) speaking to his student again. Occasionally the aswad may take it upon himself to extricate his student from a particularly dangerous situation. The student who relies on this sort of rescue, however, isn't long for this world. Most aswadim prefer to let their students fend for themselves; [[SinkOrSwimMentor a student who constantly needs assistance, they reason, isn't worth teaching]].

69->'''Blackmore:''' Do you know what you want to be when you grow up?\
70'''Torque:''' Happy.\
71'''Blackmore:''' Happy's not good enough. [[AmbitionIsEvil You've got to be a player]]; ''then'' people respect you. You understand the difference?\
72'''Torque:''' ...I don't know.\
73'''Blackmore:''' [[FauxAffablyEvil That's okay, my little one]]. I've got ''years'' to teach you.

76->''"Alas, the only Source Masters not yet [[BanOnMagic hauled off to Fort Joy]] or turned into meat puppets are those too dangerous or cunning for the Magisters to contain. Sourcerers that allowed their power to corrupt them. Many are wicked, cruel, vile, and generally not good teacher material, but we may have no others to turn to."''

80->Eidsmoe’s rise to fame is primarily related to the fact that Michelle Bachmann was one of his students while she attended Coburn Law School at Oral Roberts University. Indeed, Bachmann describes Eidsmoe as “one of the professors who had a great influence on me”, and Bachmann his research assistant on the 1987 book “Christianity and the Constitution”...One may wonder how Bachmann aligns herself with Eidsmoe’s opinion that “women must submit to their husband”, but come to think of it Bachmann has in fact said precisely that herself. Bachmann also seems to have got her theocratic sympathies from Eidsmoe... A significant source of evil in the world. Should be approached with care and preferably not at all.

84->''"You wound me, dear boy, of course I'll be plotting behind your back. I am going to deceive you, manipulate you and when I've gotten what I want . . . well . . . I'll let your imagination conjure up the gruesome finale. Your only hope of survival is that somehow the things I teach you will be enough for a twelve-year-old boy to outwit the world's most dangerous mind, before I render you to pieces like a wolverine with a squeak toy."''
