Tim Drake Quotes

“You are nothing. You are less than nothing. You are a child. That is how your opponents must see you. They will underestimate your skills because of your age and size. That is your advantage. But you must never see yourself that way. Draw them to attack. Feign weakness. Feign fear. And strike when they are close.”
― Chuck Dixon, Robin #14

“I see them now. My first thought is -- all of this for Damian? The son Batman never knew he had. Grandson to Ra's Al Ghul... and a kid no one can stand. And then I think... no... it's for Tim. For him, a thousand ninjas us just the start of what I would do.”
― Fabian Nicieza, Nightwing (1996-2009) #138

“My Mom was a little religious, my Dad not at all. So when she was killed--and my Dad was left in a coma--I didn’t have a strong foundation of faith to turn to.
By the time my father was killed—then so many of my friends--all I had left to turn to was anger. It was easier than believing in a God who had let that happen.
But anger solved little and when the world was in crisis--I prayed. I heard only silence. So I confessed my sins… and realized I had none.
How could someone who tried so hard to be good--did so much for so many people--be asked to endure so much?”
― Fabian Nicieza, Red Robin #22

“The old moves come back. Dick always went off-book. Jason hated practicing them. But Tim… he loved it. The teamwork. We had each other’s backs.”
― Chip Zdarsky, Batman (2016-) #130

“Tim is the best Robin, but Damian is probably more fun to write. I’d say that Tim’s role is partner to Batman while Damian’s role is that of a son who needs guidance, and the role of Robin is a way of doing that. Tim no longer needs Batman’s guidance, he’s just a damned good partner.”
― Chip Zdarsky

“Now hit the showers. Take your time. Come up with other reasons your a terrible person and I'll shoot those arguments down when you get back.”

“I had withdrawn from humanity because I had, in fact, lost my humanity. I had believed that without my humanity, there was little to no purpose to my continuing to exist. However, in the past few minutes, I have begun to believe that perhaps... Just perhaps... There is some small aspect of human feeling left to me."

"Because I find that you three annoy the hell out of me. I feel the urge to smack you... Particularly Impulse. For that, I am indebted. Thank you."

"You're uh... You're welcome... I guess.”
― Peter David, Young Justice, Book One
