Quotes by Bill Finger (?)

“Bruce Wayne: I know. You keep thinking, If only I had done something differently. If only I could have...warned them. But there isn't anything you could have done. There isn't anything either of us could have done.

Dick Grayson: Your mom and dad? Does the hurt ever go away?

Bruce Wayne: I wish I could say yes. But it will get better in time. For you. That I promise.”
― Bill Finger, Robin, The Boy Wonder: A Celebration of 75 Years
