Jafar: Ah, Iago...You betrayed me and allied yourself with my enemies! Then you turned on them as soon as it was in your best interests. That's what I love about you! You're so perfectly— predictable. A villain through and through.
Iago: Yeah... no problem...
Iago: Yeah... no problem...
Vincent: Wow!
RJ: Vincent?
Vincent: So I was on my way down here to kill you, but I stopped to watch the show, and I gotta say... that, right there, is a thing of beauty. (holds up the binoculars to RJ's face, allowing him to see his friends get captured by Dwayne the Verminator) That is the most vicious, deceitful, self-serving thing I've ever seen. (chuckles maliciously) Classic, RJ. You take the food...and they take the fall. You keep this up, you're gonna end up just like me— havin' everything you ever wanted.
RJ: ...But I already had that.

"Had the Kryptonian or the Amazon taken that gamble: they would have lost. They do not have the strength of character to annihilate an entire planet to achieve success. But you? A Human? You'd kill your own kind to win battles. An admirable quality."
Literature
Rashleigh: My father's foolish opinion, if one may give that epithet to any opinion of a father's, does not affect your real innocence; and as to the disgrace of the fact, depend on it, that, considered in all its bearings, political as well as moral, Sir Hildebrand regards [robbing royal couriers] as a meritorious action — a weakening of the enemy — a spoiling of the Amalekites; and you will stand the higher in his regard for your supposed accession to it.
Frank: I desire no man's regard, Mr. Rashleigh, on such terms as must sink me in my own.

Yo, girl, keep it together
I knew you would come far;
Now you're truly a Heather
Smell how gangsta you are!
Yo, girl, feel a bit punchy?
She's not looking so well;
Still, you've earned that red scrunchie
Come join Heather in Hell!

Soliss: Twenty years ago you'd have just wrestled him down. Now you're gloating over his mashed face! For the first time I am actually glad that you're a paladin.
Jors: I'll bear that compliment with all the pride it merits, Dameh.

Elan: Well, do you have an idea, Roy?
Roy: I say we just leave them here.
Haley: Are you nuts? They're going to wake up tomorrow and team up to track us down!
Roy: Are they? The old guy sucker punched his daughter when the rest of us were beaten. I think she's going to have a few choice words for dear old dad when they wake up. And Durkon disbanded the bandits, so they don't have any minions to push around. Just the two of them, stuck together, forced to work out their screwed up family issues.
Belkar: Hmmm... so you're saying no killing, no indentured servitude, just physically compelling them to spend time with their family members?
Roy: Yeah, pretty much.
Belkar: I love it!
Roy: You do?
Belkar: Sure! It's sick, twisted — Roy, I had no idea you were capable of devising such a cruel and unusual punishment! There may yet be hope for you!
Roy: Your approval fills me with shame.

Reporter: ...I can only thank God in Heaven there is at least one woman out there interested in justice. There is absolutely no doubt that US laws and constitution protect the guilty more than the innocent...

Steven: Stay back! (summons his shield)
Jasper: (laughs) This dulled-down version of Rose Quartz works for you now? You're pointing that shield the wrong way. (chuckles as she gestures to Lapis standing right behind Steven) She's the one you should be afraid of.
Lapis: That's not true.
Jasper: You can't lie to me. I've seen what you're capable of. I thought I was a brute, but you... you're a monster.

Real Life
"Most people here would agree that some SJ enthusiasts can get pretty carried away. But if you feel convinced social justice is a crushing form of censorship, you might want to rethink that idea. Because apparently “one of the only people who could say and do whatever they damn well pleased” for the first time ever decided to redact a joke, not because of SJ bloggers, but because of the behavior of their most strident critics. And if you truly dislike censorship, and do not wish to see more self-censorship in the future, then you would be doing your part to behave in a way that doesn’t make creators feel embarrassed to be defended by you."
"Never forget that some people's good opinion would be more insulting than their abuse!"
"If it's true, it's terrifying. We're not really watchdogs, we're the kind of dogs that lick each other's balls."
— Jon Stewart, on The Daily Show being called a respected news source and the "watchdog" of other news shows and channels.
