The Joker4 quotes
I believe whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you...stranger. — The Joker · 2008You see I'm a guy of simple taste.

You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these...these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve. — The Joker · 2008Loki2 quotes

In the end, you will always kneel. — Loki · 2012Alfred Pennyworth1 quote
