"The masks we wear define who we become."

"Patience is the weapon of a true warrior."

"You cannot negotiate with inevitability."

"Civilization is merely delayed chaos."

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

"The mask separates the man from the mission."

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

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

"Mercy is the privilege of the victor."

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

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

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