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?

I was going to pick one, any one, to post here.

But I couldn't decide, every one of Alfred's lines are awesome.

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.

Sing 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.

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.

"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. [up][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".*

[up]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.
