Quotes: Grey and Gray Morality
General Tullius: We aren't the bad guys, you know.
Ulfric Stormcloak: Maybe not, but you certainly aren't the good guys.
Tullius: Perhaps you're right. But then what does that make you?
Ulfric: You just said it yourself.

Wesley: There is a line, Lilah, black and white, good and evil.
Lilah: Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get grey. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but grey.
Angel, "Habeas Corpses"

"Surely you wouldn't do such a thing, destroying the righteous along with the wicked. Why, you would be treating the righteous and the wicked exactly the same! Surely you wouldn't do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?"
Genesis 18:25 (New Living Translation)

"It was Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men, and he did not like it much. He was glad that he could not see the dead face. He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would not really rather have stayed there in peace ? all in a flash of thought which was quickly driven from his mind."

Steve Arlo: There aren't evil guys and innocent guys. It's just... It's just... It's just a bunch of guys.
Zero Effect

Fitz: “That’s make-believe. There ain't no good guys. Or bad guys. There's just guys."
Dresden Files: Ghost Story

Nena: Taking revenge for your family?! I'm doing the same thing! Don't act like you're the only one suffering! (Louise completely demolishes her Gundam in three seconds flat) I was created for this... and forced to fight... I refuse to die like this! This isn't how I want to die! (notices she's right in front of her enemy's weapon)
Louise: (coldly) I know. I'm sure you don't want to die. But my mom and dad... WEREN'T EVEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO SAY THAT BEFORE YOU KILLED THEM!!! (impales Nena's cockpit)
Nena: DAMN YOU, YOU BITCH! (dies)

Its not always black and white but your heart always knows what's right.

"The battle between pretty evil and pretty good has begun."

Truth has many shades; it is not a matter of black and white, but grey.
Morgan Freeman, Bombs Away (B.O.B. song)

"It's so much easier to see the world in black and white. Grey...I don't know what to do with grey."
