->When you're bad, you don't care what happens to anyone other than yourself.
->When you're trying to do good, you have to worry about everyone."

->'''William Somerset:''' I just don't think I can continue to live in a place that [[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad embraces and nurtures apathy as if it was virtue]].\\
'''David Mills:''' You're no different. You're no better.\\
'''William Somerset:''' I didn't say I was different or better. [[HypocrisyNod I'm not.]] Hell, I sympathize; I sympathize completely. Apathy is the solution. I mean, it's easier to lose yourself in drugs than it is to cope with life. It's easier to steal what you want than it is to earn it. It's easier to beat a child than it is to raise it. Hell, love costs: it takes effort and work.

->'''[[KidHero Billy Batson]]:''' "Be good and good will follow." That's what my parents used to always tell me. But, you know, [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Mr. Kent]], I was good [[ParentalAbandonment before they were taken from me]]. I was good [[AbusiveParents at the foster home]]. And I was good [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished fifteen minutes ago]]. I'm starting to think [[BeingGoodSucks being good isn't good for me]].\\
'''Clark Kent:''' It seems that way sometimes, doesn't it? But that's because good is hard. Bad is always easy.

->'''Batman:''' You don't understand. I don't think you've ever understood.\\
'''Red Hood[[spoiler:/Jason Todd]]:''' What? What, your [[ThouShaltNotKill moral code]] just won't allow for that [killing]? It's too hard to cross that line?\\
'''Batman:''' No! God Almighty — no. It'd be too damned ''easy''. All I've ever wanted to do is kill him [ComicBook/TheJoker]. A day doesn't go by when I don't think about subjecting him to every horrendous torture he's dealt out to others and then... '''end him'''.[...] But if I do that, if I allow myself to go down into that place, I'll never come back.

->''For Tony Montana, the choices seem simple at first. He can work hard, be honest and make a humble wage as a dishwasher. Or he can work for organized crime, make himself more vicious than his competitors and get the big cars, the beautiful women and the boot-licking attention from nightclub doormen. He doesn't wash many dishes.''
