"'An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming. Aim. Higher.'"

"'There are a lot of decisions I'd give anything to go back and change. But I can't. None of us can. It's like I told Duncan, all we can do is move forward... together.'"

"'When the checks and balances of society break down, when criminals hide beyond the reach of the law, when powerful men sow the seeds of corruption with no fear of reprising, I must rise, to dispense justice to the wicked! And when I do, I am the vigilante!'"

"'Give me four seconds and then clear signal. I'll get in, and you'll never know. But I want you to know--you're not anonymous. I've seen your kind before. I made mistakes, hurt people I love. All because of men like you. You think you're untouchable? I'm hear to shatter your illusions. I'll make you understand that you'll never be free again.'"

"'In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid move, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Retribution.'"

"'Four to five moments. That's all it takes to be a hero. Everyone thinks it's a fulltime job. Wake up a hero, brush your teeth a hero, go to work a hero. Not true. Over a lifetime, there are only four or five moments that really matter. Moments when you're offered a choice, to make a sacrifice, conquer a flaw, save a friend, spare an enemy. In these moments, everything else falls away, the way the world sees us, the way we see the world.'"

"'The man who embraces the dark is never without sight.'"

"'I see better from a distance.'""'Tragedy is invisible. People turn away from it, and run from it if they can. And it's hard knowing that you belong here, that your purpose lies amongst all this pain, but someone's gotta be there to pick it up. To push back. Put the first piece back together. Put us all back together.'"
