Sandman

"Every man deserves the chance to prove he's changed."

"The sand has shown me the shape of my true self."

"I'm not a bad person, I just had bad luck."

"You know how hard it is to do what I do? To survive out there?"

"I needed the money. That's all there is to it."

"Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive."

"I was just trying to take care of my family."

"The world doesn't care about guys like me."

"I've been through worse than this."

"You think I wanted to become this?"

"Power... it changes you in ways you can't understand."

"I'm not trying to hurt anyone. I'm trying to survive."

"When you've got nothing, you do whatever it takes."

"A man does what he needs to do for his daughter."

"I never wanted to be a monster."

"Maybe in another life, things could have been different."

"Responsibility... that's what it's all about."

"I understand what it's like to be desperate."

"You can't judge a man until you've walked in his shoes."

"Life has a way of pushing you down."

"I'm not the villain in my own story."

"Sometimes circumstances make you into something you're not."

"I've lost everything. What do I have to lose now?"

"The system doesn't help people like me."

"I'm just a man trying to make ends meet."

"You can turn sand into glass with enough heat and pressure."

"I had a choice, and I made it."

"My daughter deserves better than this."

"Power without restraint... that's when things fall apart."

"I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm just asking for understanding."
