He's like fire and ice and rage. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time. Rory punched him in the face."Son of God or Son of Man, Marsielless— you can't fuck your sister and expect much good to come of it. "— Herr Starr, Preacher
We Are The Wyrecats Needs Tropes!I'm paraphrasing a bit here, but: "Do you think I'm a villian in a Rupublic movie serial? Do you think I'd spend all this time laying out my plan to you if there was any way you could stop it? I did it ten minutes ago." —Ozymandias in response to Nite Owl's "we'll stop your evil plot" speech in Watchmen.
From American Vampire:

Thirty-five minutes ago, by the way.

With blood and rage of crimson red ripped from a corpse so freshly dead together with our hellish hate we'll burn you all that is your fateSing it with me now:
FIN FANG FOOM!
Mommy was a slut-lizard that did the bad thing with suggestively-shaped piles of nuclear waste, and nine months later —
FIN FANG FOOM!
Has been burning with the need to mate since 1956!
FIN FANG FOOM!
Has absolutely no genitals whatsoever!
FIN FANG FOOM!
Oh, you cannot possibly imagine how annoyed he is.

One line from All Star Batman And Robin: "I'm the goddamn Batman."
Oh, Equestria, we stand on guard for thee!Captain America's speech from Marvel Civil War; the one he gives Spider-Man about fighting for the right cause which convinces the latter to switch sides. That was about the only point in the whole mess where he sounded like Captain America.
(Unfortunately, what people remember from that event was his 'verbal beatdown' from a female reporter after he was arrested instead. The one that said Cap was out of contact with the public because he didn't know about things like facebook or Nascar. Personally, I think Cap just considered her beneath his dignity to answer.)
"You want to know about voting. I'm here to tell you about voting. Imagine you're locked in a huge underground nightclub filled with sinners, whores, freaks and unnamable things that rape pit bulls for fun. And you ain't allowed out until you all vote on what you're going to do tonight. You like to put your feet up and watch "Republican Party Reservation". They like to have sex with normal people using knives, guns, and brand new sexual organs that you did not know existed. So you vote for television, and as far as everyone else, as far as your eye can see, votes to fuck you with switchblades. That's voting. You're welcome"
-Spider Jerusalem in a PSA on voting.

Journalism is just a gun. It's only got one bullet in it, but if you aim right, that's all you need."You don't understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me" — Rorschach from Watchmen, to the other inmates after being locked up.

-I understand the point of that speech, and what it's trying to accomplish, but taken exactly as Cap says it, it can be used to justify virtually anything. You're covered so long as you think you're in the right. Given that he's Cap, I know his heart's in the right place, but that seems like an extraordinarily dangerous thing to believe because, frankly, the Red Skull probably believes exactly the same thing, about himself anyway.

I was reading Steve Gerber's run on The Defenders the other night, and I came across this gem:
Doctor Strange: "...I can locate the Hulk and Yondu by proceeding directly the same distance at precisely the opposite angle from the course that will lead me to Valkyrie and Vance Astro".*
Note from Ed.: "Wha—?"
That reminds me of "You are stronger than you think you are"- Superman, to a girl(?) who was about to jump to her death, in the last issue of All Star Superman- on the last day of his life, no less, sparing time to save even a single person's life- proving that he cares for all of humanity.
"Sometimes I think about Liz. Sometimes I wonder why she turned my offer down; wonder why anyone should not wish to be perfect in a perfect world. Sometimes, I wonder why that bothers me and sometimes... sometimes I just wonder," - The final lines of Alan Moore's Miracleman, spoken by the man himself. Haunting.

Just what the title says.
I myself am partial to "Turn back. Crawl home to your tomb with your carrion-shadows. Dawn is on its way
◊." - Nix Uotan to Mandrakk, Final Crisis #7. That whole sequence kicked ass. Reportedly, Dan Didio wanted to reboot with this storyline, but was talked out of it by the publisher. I think this would have been a much better finale to The DCU than a rather middling mini-crossover featuring a character hardly anyone likes anymore, don't you?
