Bane

"The mask grants me voice beyond my voice."

"I was trained by the League of Assassins, not born from weakness."

"Gotham's decay is beautiful; I merely accelerate it."

"Time is an illusion I control."

"You dare challenge me? You are already defeated."

"The pit taught me everything—survival, dominance, truth."

"I do not seek victory; I seek inevitability."

"Your hope is the rope upon which you will hang."

"Peace comes only through absolute power."

"I am not a man—I am an idea, and ideas are bulletproof."

"The darkness in Gotham recognizes the darkness in me."

"You were born weak; I was forged in pain."

"Mercy is the privilege of the victor."

"I have read every philosophy; they all lead to one truth: power."

"Your city is a symptom; I am the cure."

"The mask separates the man from the mission."

"I will show Gotham the darkness it truly is."

"Civilization is merely delayed chaos."

"You cannot negotiate with inevitability."

"The will to dominate transcends all other desires."

"I have broken greater men than you for lesser reasons."

"Your legacy ends where mine begins."

"I am the reckoning Gotham has long deserved."

"Patience is the weapon of a true warrior."

"The masks we wear define who we become."

"I came to free Gotham, even if it must burn to be reborn."

"Your principles are chains that bind the strong."

"I have conquered pain itself."

"Gotham's children will serve me willingly or perish."

"You think yourself a symbol? I am inevitability."
