Graham: I finally understand! It was your display of overwhelming power that stole my heart! That feeling... could only be called love!
Setsuna: Love?!
Graham: But if you go beyond love it will turn into hatred! Just as people turn at each other when they take religious faith too far!note
Setsuna: If you know that then why do you still fight?!
Graham: You're asking a soldier why he fights? What kind of nonsense is that?!

"You do not kill like any man I have ever seen, Frank. You're more like a force of nature. An earthquake or a tidal wave. A tornado. Watching you kill is like watching Rembrandt paint, or hear Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart conduct his 9th symphony. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, Frank Castle. I think I'm going to cry. Thank you, Frank. Thank you for being you. I can't believe I get to kill you".
— Bullseye, The Punisher MAX
Bruce Banner: Do you think they would've had that ticker-tape parade if they knew it was me that ripped apart Cap's old wartime sparring partner? God, I can still hear his bones crunching around in my mouth, Betty. I can still taste his blood at the back of my throat. Have you any idea how sick and repugnant that is when you've been a vegetarian for the last fifteen years?
Betty Ross: Sorry, Bruce. I was just thinking about those satellite pics of you wolfing down that man's intestines like some kind of animal and... well, do you think Fury would let you and I have some kind of conjugal visit anytime soon?

"Rip his heart out! Your perfect form bathed in the blood of your opponents is the one light in my existence!"
"No really. I was in awe of you when you were fighting with Israfel the other day. Your movements were so fluid, so sure, that I did not feel like I was looking at Unit 02, but you. It was incredible," Shinji explains.
"Should I feel 'complimented'?" Asuka asks.
"Hell yes! You're that good. When you spun your Eva about to deliver that axe blow to the half behind you, it was like I was seeing you there, hair flashing behind you and skirt twirling about your legs dramatically. I was a little turned on by it," Shinji says, pausing in his work to savour the memory.
"Pervert," Asuka mutters sarcastically. There was however a small smile on her face.
Shrugging, Shinji says, "Hey, what can I say? I like my women confident, wielding a huge axe, and blood drenched. Ensures they'll be wild in bed."

Prime Minister of the Daleks: (on why the Daleks keep their insane in an asylum) It is offensive to us to extinguish such divine hatred.
The Doctor: Offensive?

The Doctor: I thought you'd run out of ways to make me sick, but hello again. You think hatred is beautiful?

I swung the empty shotgun two-handed and slammed the malk in the skull, hard enough to knock it from the air and leave it senseless on the floor.

"You utterly annihilated opponents who had already admitted defeat, right down to the last survivor. You mercilessly cut down women and children running away in confusion. You burnt everything, leaving not even an insect alive. All that remains is the ashes dancing in the transient wind. I, Mitsuhide, can no longer contain how intoxicated I am with you!"

You have made bitter foes of races older, nobler, and more worthy than you.
You struggle so vainly and valiantly when you have so little. When you are so little. Everything this universe has thrown against you and still you persist.
I could finish you. And you would not be at my side at the dimming of the world. You, the Guardian of Guardians.
If I wished it, you would die your final death. But I won't. Why? Because I'm in love.
