(to Ozymandias) "Did you really think that would kill me? I walked across the surface of the Sun. I have witnessed events so tiny and so fast that they hardly seemed to have occurred at all. And you, Adrian, are just a man. The world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does the smartest termite!" - Dr. Manhattan, Watchmen
"I am tired of the Earth, its people. I'm tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives." - Dr. Manhattan, Watchmen
"Why would I save the world I no longer have any stake in?" - Dr. Manhattan, Watchmen
