I don’t know if they really want you to be a hero. I think they just want you to look like one.
This is where you’re living?[Starlight]Yeah. You know, it has its charms. The rats are like Pokémon. With hep C.[Hughie Campbell]

The good guys don’t win. The bad guys don’t get punished. What we do means nothing. It’s just all for money and I am in the middle of all of it.[to Donna]
I should’ve done a lot more stuff. Because there is nothing up there. There’s nobody in the sky watching over us. Not God, not Homelander. Not anybody. It’s all just lies.
Here’s the truth. Anyone who tells you they know the answers is lying.
I don’t have powers.[Ashley Barrett]You don’t need powers. You just need to be human.[Starlight]
What good’s all that power, if you can’t control it?[to Marie]
We run, we don’t all make it.[Starlight]Darwinism, love. Don’t got to be the fastest, just not the slowest.[Billy Butcher]

This whole place. I’m so f***ing tired of listening to people tell me I need to be shitty in order to win. F*** you. And f*** Homelander, and f*** Vought and this “whatever it takes” crap. You’re just gonna end up sitting on top of the steaming pile of s*** that you built. I’m done. I’m f***ing done. I’m not doing it anymore.[to Victoria]
