Another thing you need to remember, and something that, for some reason, has never really occurred to you before: You can ask things of others too. You can ask them to compromise. It is not always you who have to.

You will meet people who’ll change the course of your life forever. Learn when to hold onto yourself and when to fly directly into the storm. — America #2 (2017)

Doing the work means taking inventory. Star every decision you’ve made in the face and own each one. You are powerful enough to evolve. That’s where the magic is, and that’s where you’ll find your light. It will be bright and endless. It cannot be destroyed. It is infinite. It is you. — America #1 (2017)

Be ready for the change. When things feel too easy, when you’ve learned everything one situation can teach, be ready. The change is here. It’s right now. It’s going to wreck everything. And you will be so much better for it. — America #1 (2017)

Cyborg "Booyah!":

Maybe I don't have some grand purpose. I can light my own way instead of looking for answers in the dark. I choose to be a beacon for those struggling with these same feelings. I can accept who I am, or I can let it consume me. I choose the former. I choose to be the best of both worlds. Not one over the other. That's acceptance. That's peace.

You think: the world's not fair, but maybe I can make it fair. Because someone has to.

You can be hungry for purpose. Starving for it, in fact. That goes for societies as well as individuals. The world always changes, no matter how hard some people try to hold back the tide.

Jo Mullein "Far Sector #5":

Something reminds you that the world is bigger than your problems. And you can wish for heroes to make everything right, but...Heroes show up when they show up. And sometimes they take too damn long. So you try to become your own hero. Make things right yourself. But sometimes you wonder: Are you really helping? Or just making things worse? So you try another way. And another.

Black Lightning "Separate but Equal":

"I'd like to believe that our capacity for love outweighs our capacity for hate...that our capacity for good outweighs our capacity for evil...that we will do our children justice...and justice, like lightning, should ever appear, to some people, HOPE, and to others, FEAR, the question you have to ask yourself is...which type of person are you?"

The thing about representation—it’s the responsibility of all who have the opportunity to populate narrative real estate to seal the deal when inviting audiences to participate.

NINE: I need to make a partition in my data storage. This is the end, right? The end of this story?

TEN: We were always at the end.

TEN: It's a free play, buddy. Clock's all zeroes.

TEN: It's after the end of the world.

NANCY: I started to watch football. I'd kinda grown up with it a little, but tell you the truth, I hadn't usually been much of a fan. But I got fixed up with a little satellite dish and I'd watch it every Sunday. I watched the Browns a lot.

NINE: Oh, they're good!

NANCY: You were made in 1968?

NINE: Yeah.

NANCY: You'd better check your residual memory.

NINE: Okay.

ED: Those were the times, but those times gave way to being afraid. Who wants to live forever? What am I gonna do with forever? And so I figured, you know, I need to get good at living life from second to second. Forget all these big conquests. Live second, to second, to second, to second, one at a time.

ED: That's what this cave is for.

What a fourth wall break

JUICE: hey sorry if i'm boring you, i feel like i'm just going on and on

NINE: You're not boring me.

JUICE: i like you.

NINE: Wait, I don't have any record of Denali. My onboard scratch data lists this as Mount McKinley.

JUICE: well thats because your scratch data was wrote by dickheads. its called Denali. you don't get to have the highest point in north america named after you just because you were president.
