Quotes by Scott Snyder (?)

“Beware The Court of Owls, that watches all the time, ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch, behind granite and lime. They watch you at your hearth, they watch you in your bed, speak not a whispered word of them, or they'll send the Talon for your head.”
― Scott Snyder, Batman, Volume 1: The Court of Owls

“Does it matter how long they were together that night? To lovers, an hour can last a century. But even for lovers, every hour ends.”

- You bet, partner. [...]
- You promised!
