Hanzo's been using the quote from Batman in Dark Knight Returns ("Something tells me to stop with the leg. I don't listen to it.") and it got me thinking. What are some of your favorite or most memorable quotes from comic books you've read? Ones you can practically rattle off without going back to the issue it appeared in...

Nice one. That and the final scene with Krypto gave me chills.

Be sure to include the source for those of us who don't know where a quote comes from.

Chemical King's dying words after saving the Legion in Secret Origins 47:

"Recognized the active ingredient -coff- at the last minute... simple helium.

Makes my balloon float, boys and girls.

Squeeze my hand, Brainiac 5! Feel my pulse? Lyle helped me change its course! He changed the course of my entire life!

Took me out of that dark laboratory... showed me the sun! And I was right, Brainiac 5! He's not gone!

I was never brave before! I got that from Lyle! I've found him! I found his unique properites!

He left them... with me."
