Quotes[]
- "To think you would use the trap set against you to entrap them... I've never seen a dramatic resurgence such as that. Truly marvelous—those are the only words I can think of to describe you."
- ― Igor to Ren Amamiya (Persona 5)
- "Whenever possible, I prefer not to use brute force, love. Trickery is smarter and works better. Armed assaults tend to be messy and are often ill-conceived and poorly executed. All that blood and...stuff. Me, I’ll take intelligent cowardice over foolhardy bravery any day."
- ― Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean)
- "I have won many games because aristocratic Devils are immersed in rationalism and the high society that they are unable to extricate themselves from. They treat pieces as mere pieces, and even the battlefield is nothing more than a checkerboard. You should be able to understand, Princess Rias…how foolish it is to look at your own pieces as mere pieces on a chessboard. Unlike chess pieces, your servants are alive. Everyone has their own way of thinking, their own heart, and their own feelings. there is a limit to how much you can try to deny their ideas, deny their culture, and try to order them as chess pieces. That’s how simple and logical the situation is, yet the aristocratic Devils are unable to understand."
- ― Rudiger Rosenkreutzer (Highschool DxD)
- "I know a dozen ways to defeat every single one of you. I have dossier files for every "superhero" on the Planet. I've been planning this."
- ― Prometheus to the Justice League (JLA #17)
- "Whatever Penguin might be, he's anything but a buffoon. He plans his crimes with military precision. His thinking is brilliant - circuitous and multi-leveled."
- ― Bruce Wayne/Batman on Oswald Cobblepot (Batman #448)
