"One day you meet the Doctor. And of course, it’s the best day ever. It’s just the best day of your life. Because...because, he’s brilliant, and he’s funny, and mad, and best of all...really needs you. The trick is – don’t fall in love. I do that trick quite a lot, sometimes twice a day. And once you start running, you start to forget; slowly, after a while, you just stopping asking. Who are you? Where are you from? What set you on your way and where are you going? Oh...and what is your name? You get used to not knowing. I thought I never would. I was wrong. I know who he is. I know how he began and I know where he’s going. I learnt the truth about the Doctor and his greatest secret the day we went to Trenzalore."

"Hang on... Three of you, in one cell, and none of you thought to try the door?"

"Please don't change."

"Across the rainbow bridge of Asgard Where the booming heavens roar You'll behold in breathless wonder The God of Thunder, Mighty Thor!"

"Jane’s been a part of Thor’s universe going back almost to the very beginning. She was the initial love interest for Donald Blake, who was Thor’s alter-ego [in early Thor stories]. She was the nurse to his doctor. She’s grown and changed and evolved a lot over the years, become a doctor in her own right. So this to me is not just the next step for her character, but really the next evolution of the core promise that has always been at the heart of Thor’s mythology."

"I came up with Thor because I’ve always been a history buff. I know all about Thor and Balder and Mjolnir, the hammer. Nobody ever bothered with that stuff except me. I loved it in high school and I loved it in my pre-high school days. It was the thing that kept my mind off the general poverty in the area. When I went to school that’s what kept me in school — it wasn’t mathematics and it wasn’t geography; it was history."

"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor!"

"All life...even such as theirs...is precious beyond understanding!"

"For they who live by violence...most surely will so perish!!"

"Ultron. We would have words with thee."

""We are not in control. Every now and then life likes to reiterate that little point. Some people find such reminders disconcerting. They spend their lives in breathless pursuit of meaningless goals, hoping to forget everything they know about their own mortality. Some people anchor themselves to something larger. Religion, Art, Justice. Anything they deem significant in a life that's not. We are not in control. If we were, surely we'd know better than to care about anything". - Catwoman Vol. 2 #57"

"(To Poison Ivy) "We both know you've been looking for a reason to say that for a long time. You never wanted me around. You've never liked me. But you could never justify it. Not to Harley". - Gotham City Sirens #21"

"I swear on the grave of my loved ones that I won't spare a single criminal. It's my pledge and my vow is as unshakeable as the polestar."

"I swore on my parents' grave that I shall combat crime till my last breath."

"We shall name him after the brightest star in North Pole, Dhruva."

"Mr. Wicker: Although my expert contact is charging one million dollars for a ten-minute consultancy, I think you'll agree he's worth it. We want to destroy an indestructible being. My contact is a specialist in that area. Gentlemen.... Mr. Lex Luthor. Our ten minutes start now."

"Despite my own personal prejudices, I say we leave Lex the criminal businessman he's been for the past 17 years. The Lois & Clark producers liked it, the WB cartoon guys liked it... so clearly, it works on some level. My concern is that, at least in my eyes, the fact that Luthor's allowed to operate uncontested for years makes Superman look ineffectual."

"I never believed the original Luthor. Every story would begin with him breaking out of prison, finding some giant robot in an old lab he hid somewhere, and then he'd be defeated. My view was if he could afford all those labs and giant robots he wouldn't need to rob banks. I also thought later that Luthor should not have super powers. Every other villain had super powers. Luthor's power was his mind. He needed to be smarter than Superman. Superman's powers had to be useless against him because they couldn't physically fight each other and Superman was simply not as smart as Luthor."

"Neil Gaiman, Neil Gaiman Interview, Hero Illustrated #18, (December 1994)."

"Lex giveth-- --and Lex taketh away."

"You know, I used to think that it was our families that makes us who we are? Then I hoped it was our friends. But if you look at history, the great men and women of the world have always been defined by their enemies."

"It's a pity Lex Luthor has become a multinationalist; I liked him better as a bald scientist. He was in prison, but they couldn't put his mind in prison. Now he's just a skinny Kingpin."

"But then, hope is an aspiration, a beacon that shines brighter than any star lighting the way for all mankind. Hope is the refusal of the inevitable, a hand lifted to the clouds. Hope is what makes us humans, for when reality threatens to destroy us, we reach inward and we create Hope. It's the greatest gift we can give each other, though it may just be the foundation to a house of cards."

"(Talking to Superman) "Those red eyes, I'm sure they look right through me like I am nothing more than a nuisance. But when I see you, I see something no man can ever be. I see the end. The end of our potential. The end of our achievements. The end of our dreams. You are my nightmare.""

"What gives measure to a man's choices is what he has to give up to make them."

"(Talking to Superman) You profess a love for humanity, but that's an emotion you cannot possibly know, because those same abilities make it impossible for you to know its opposite, it's something that today has its grip on every heart of Metropolis: Fear."

"I’ve tried to be a model citizen, General Lane. I know I promised I wouldn’t waste my intellect on kryptonite robots and elaborate super deathtraps. I know that. But three months ago, I looked in the mirror at those nasty little spiderwebs of lines around my eyes and I realized something. I’m getting older, and... and he isn’t."

"Chief Judge: Attila the Hun, Genghis Kahn, Al Capone, Adolf Hitler, Lex Luthor. You freely admit that these vile and appalling criminals are the men you revere above all as heroes and role models. Your insane schemes have placed in jeopardy the lives of every man, woman and child on this planet. Have you anything more to say before I deliver the verdict of this court?"

"But one thing clear beyond the mask he wears...is his passion. A palpable thing that’s almost greater then the man himself. And if there’s passion...there’s desire. And desire means there’s a hole in the man. (About Bruce Wayne/Batman)"

"Lex Luthor: Here you are, sir! This serum will cure cancer."

"A life, some would argue, is a series of problems. There’s no denying the truth in that – but why get lost in it? Why not rise above the truth… and lead a good life? Shouldn’t we all look at problems as a chance for us to find… solutions?"

"I believe there’s something inherently dangerous when something real becomes mythic: Because when faced with a myth, we can’t win. So the mythic must be exposed for what it is so we can believe in ourselves, because it’s only what’s in us—the drive to be mythic—that matters."
