11->''"As Ludwig flew, the world's night moved along with him. It wasn't a problem with the movement and placement of celestial bodies - it was much more absurd and terrifying. The shadowy regions themselves became akin to animals and accompanied him. No, that expression wasn't appropriate. After all, he ''was'' the darkness - the lord who dominated half the world. Even then, that idea only applied when you conformed to the concepts of day and night.\
12Naturally, darkness could be born anywhere.\
13Even when there was sunlight or artificial lightning, anywhere where the light was blocked would become the domain of Methuselah. Caverns, dense woods, the sides of buildings... Even the shadows cast by animals - humans included - were no exception. Therefore, the extraordinarily vast, black kingdom that began moving was actually all a part of Ludwig's body. He was a dependent of God - the personification of an aspect of nature, born through people's worship of the dark in the long gone age of mythology."''

16->'''Blake:''' Have you ever met someone and thought to yourself, "They are the personification of ''this'' word."\

19'''Sun:''' What am I?\
20'''Blake:''' Jury's still out on that one, but I'm leaning towards [[LovableRogue "earnest"]]. At first I thought [[EvilFormerFriend Adam]] was "justice", then I thought he was "passion". But over time, I realized I was wrong. He wasn't any of those things. He was "spite". Not "hatred", not "rage", ''[[EvilIsPetty "spite"]]''.

34'''ComicBook/CosmicBoy:''' "Not exactly reassuring, if you know what I mean."\

48->For [[ComicBook/TheSandman the Dreamsmith]] was a figure familiar to Krypton's children. He was the trickster who wove puzzles to perplex young ones in their beds, the terror-maker who sent nightmare-vessels freighted from Hell, the soother of sweaty brows when the weary needed calm nights, the procurer who provided imaginary lovers that left the sheets of dreamers wet and tangled at daybreak. When they neared adolescence, of course, the children of Krypton (whose children had, in turn, settled Rokyn) gave up such beliefs, except as comforting old myths that had made their younger lives more mythic and fine.\
49Now, [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] sensed that such abandonment might well have been too hasty.\
50She put out her hand, touched his arm. He was substantial, cool as marble, yet fleshed. There were muscles below his fish-pale skin, and bones beneath that, or so there seemed to be. Whatever substance the Dreamsmith was made of, Kara, in her present state, seemed akin to.

53->'''Bryan Gumbel''': (''referring to [[Ride/JourneyIntoImagination Dreamfinder and Figment]]'') Do you fit into the family that includes Goofy and Pluto and Mickey and Snow White and Cinderella? Or are you truly apart, are you the future?\
54'''Dreamfinder''': No, I'm part of the same spirit, actually, I'm more of the original spirit. The same thing that led to them created me, and I was there when they were created.
55-->--''The Today Show'' interview from live broadcast focusing on Epcot's opening in 1982.

57->''"I am [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse War]]. You were made to serve me. To live in me, and die in me."''
