"What happened to the American dream? It came true!"
- Comedian,
Watchmen
(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."

"Why would I save the world I no longer have any stake in?"
- Dr. Manhattan,

(to Rorschach) "I have cancer…You know the kind you eventually get better from? That ain't the kind I got."

(to Rorschach) "Who do you think you are, Rorschach? You live off people while insulting them and nobody complains because they think you're a God damned lunatic."

"God doesn't make the world this way, we do."
- Rorschach,

"I heard a joke once. A man goes to the doctor, says he's depressed, says he feels all alone in a threatening world. The doctor says the great clown Pagliacci is in town. Go see him, that should pick you up. But doctor, he says, I am Pagliacci. Good joke, everybody laughed."
- Rorschach,
Watchmen
(when asked, 'how've you been keeping?') "Out of prison, so far!"

"I used to be a masked avenger too, remember? I'm used to going out at three in the morning and doing something stupid."
