->'''Teal'c:''' Nothing I have done since turning against the Goa'uld will make up for the atrocities I once committed in their name. Somewhere deep inside you, you knew it was wrong, a voice you did not recognize screamed for you to stop. You saw no way out, it was the way things were, they could not be changed. You tried to convince yourself the people you're hurting deserved it. You became numb to their pain and suffering, you learned to shut out the voice speaking against it.\\
'''Tomin:''' There's always a choice.\\
'''Teal'c:''' Indeed there is.\\
'''Tomin:''' I chose to ignore it.\\
'''Teal'c:''' Yet you sit here now.\\
'''Tomin:''' I sit here, and I cannot imagine the day when I will forgive myself.\\
'''Teal'c:''' Because it will never come. One day others may try to convince you they have forgiven you, that is more about them than you. For them, imparting forgiveness is a blessing.\\
'''Tomin:''' How do you go on?\\
'''Teal'c:''' It is simple. You will never forgive yourself. Accept it. You hurt others, many others, that cannot be undone. You will never find personal retribution, but your life does not have to end. That which is right, just and true can still prevail. If you do not fight for what you believe in, all may be lost for everyone else. But do not fight for yourself, fight for others, others that may be saved through your effort. That is the least you can do.

-> ''Now I look back, all I see disdain\\
I abused those close and I failed the same\\
I destroyed my family in name of gain\\
And for all that pain, what did I attain?\\
How can I be a hero if I can't save home?\\
I betrayed my kin, my own flesh and bone\\
And for these sins, I know I'll atone\\
But before then, I'll be sure you all know hope\\
I will earn this rank, I will earn this right\\
I will earn your trust, I will burn so bright\\
I will give my all, I will give my life\\
Cannot change the past, what I can do's '''fight'''!\\
And I know that, well, I may not be [[Characters/MyHeroAcademiaAllMight Might]]\\
But the drive inside is what keeps that light\\
In the end, they will all say my name out loud\\
And Shoto, son, I will make you proud''.

'''Bekhesh:''' Yes... but also on myself. During a hostage raid we captured a priest; a disciple of the Writ of Taru. He refused to eat or sleep: all he would do, day and night, was preach, whether anyone was listening or not. I executed him... but I kept his writ. I don't know why. One day I started reading; they were words of peace, but they made me feel... ''[[GoodFeelsGood better.]]'' Then one day I took off my [[ArmCannon gauntlet]] and I threw it away.

->'''[[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]]''': I never got to say goodbye to my father. There's questions I would've asked him. I would've asked him how he felt about what his company did, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was every inch of man we remember from the newsreels. I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. And I saw that I had become part of a system that is comfortable with zero accountability.\\
'''Reporter''': Mr. Stark! What happened over there?\\
'''Tony''': I had my eyes opened. I came to realize that I had more to offer this world than just making things that blow up. And that is why, effective immediately, I am shutting down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark Industries.
