""IF YOU WANT TO TALK UNPOPULAR INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN INTOLERANT SOCIETIES, LOOK AT MARTIN LUTHER KING. DID HE EVER WEAR A FUCKING DISGUISE? HE RISKED HIS CAREER, HIS FAMILY, HIS LIFE, BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT AMERICANS DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO AREN'T BRAVE ENOUGH TO STAND BEHIND THEIR OPINIONS.""

""IF THE CITY GETS TOO COMFORTABLE IN THE BELIEF I'M GOING TO PERSONALLY FIX EVERYTHING, THEY'LL STOP STRIVING TO SOLVE PROBLEMS ON THEIR OWN."

"TAKE IT EASY, HUNDRED. WACKY NIGHTS LIKE THESE TO THE CONTRARY, YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER CIVIL SERVANT. NOBODY EXPECTS YOU TO SAVE THE WORLD.""

"AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE BEST PART OF NOT HAVING POWERS IS? NOT HAVING WEAKNESSES."

"WHAT, THE KRAUTS DON'T HAVE A WORD FOR "LOYALTY?" MITCH IS A PAL, SO I GOT HIS BACK, EVEN IF THAT MEANS TAKING A BULLET FOR THE ASSHOLE."

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WORSE, THE SMELL OF BURNING FLESH, OR THE FACT THAT I RECOGNIZE IT NOW."

""THOSE WHO DON'T MAKE MISTAKES USUALLY DON'T MAKE ANYTHING.""
