"The Zero-Mortals Plan. What an irony, needing the power of a mortal to achieve the Zero-Mortals Plan."
— Zamasu on his partnership with Goku Black, Dragon Ball Super
"You mortals are all alike, led astray by your ignorance. You think that's a revelation, that Goku's body will always be a part of me? Of course he will, such was my desire! You are mortals, Saiyans, yet you've gained divine power. You're stronger than most deities now. Thus those who created this cosmos have made something they could not control. And if one can't control a world, one can't be called a god of it, making Saiyans the ultimate symbol of the failure of the Kais. And so, by incorporating Goku's flesh into my being, I have assumed both the sins of mortal kind and the failure of divinity so they may never be repeated. That is the duty of a true god."
—Fused Zamasu, Dragon Ball Super
"Look back through this essay, and for certain you will find that I have again and again committed the very faults I am protesting against."
"Nothing is more unjust, however common, than to charge with hypocrisy him that expresses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice; since he may be sincerely convinced of the advantages of conquering his passions, without having yet obtained the victory, as a man may be confident of the advantages of a voyage, or a journey, without having courage or industry to undertake it, and may honestly recommend to others, those attempts which he neglects himself."
—Samuel Johnson
"ABC has finally come to the realization that the cast of The View has the cumulative IQ of a half-digested ass corn and nobody wants to see a bunch of twat bubbles talk about current events ('I do, which is why I’m reading Dlisted right now' – you 'Good point' – me)"
Yahtzee: The supernatural elements throw a few curve balls, but at least remain internally consistent — unlike the fact that a man who wears a Fedora and vest somehow managed to convince someone to marry him without choking on their own vomit during the vows.

"There's no need to go showing off like that. That's my job."

Moon Knight: So I've got this straight: you go up, you hide, you track fit people, and then you kill them, take pieces of them down here, and paste them into your body with obsolete, exotic machinery. And you think this is the purpose of their lives and your time and skills.
Slasher: No offense, buddy, but you're a mile underground wearing a white suit and a bag on your head.
Moon Knight: Fair point.

Player Character: If you hate the Force, why do you use it?
Darth Traya: I use it as I would use a poison, and in the hopes of understanding it, I will learn the way to kill it. But perhaps these are the excuses of an old woman who has grown to rely on a thing she despises.

Cell: In the meantime, what I really want to know is how you keep popping in and out of reality!
Goku: Oh, that's just my Instant Transmission.
Cell: And don't tell me, is that another technique you stole?

Trinity: You always told me to stay off the freeway.
Morpheus: Yes, that's true.
Trinity: You said it was suicide.

... so it's basically impossible, and a complete waste of time. But then again, this is coming from the guy who just calculated a useless statistic in a ten year old game, so, you go do your thing.
Trevor: Well, that's perfect. Then we can get back to the kind of capitalism we practice.

Long Caster: Unidentified aircraft. Land your plane and surrender. Why do you feel the need to continue fighting on your own?
Mihaly: That's funny, it seems like one of your pilots is also fighting alone.
Long Caster: He's not alone. Look around you.
Mihaly: I see. Perhaps it would've been best to entrust the future to pilots like that. Let me test him, then, to see if he's truly worthy.

I have but one piece of advice to give to you for your further career as a criminal investigator. That is that you must never allow yourself to become emotionally invested in the cases you are dealing with. This is most important, Tao Gan, but most difficult to achieve. I ought to know, I have never learned it.
—Judge Dee, The Morning of the Monkey
Ryoma Hoshi: You actually plan on keeping that promise about not blaming yourself?
