"You're alive. Congratulations. That means you've got the aptitude. If you didn't, you'd be dead. You've just obtained a talent. No... it's more accurate to say it was pulled from your mind. The worse the villain, the more they have... This talent that the man named DIO called a Stand."
― Keicho Nijimura to Angelo (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part IV Diamonds are Unbreakable)
