Davros: Why do you hesitate? No one would know... Is this the conscience of the Doctor, or his shame? The shame that brought you here.
The Doctor: There's no such thing as the Doctor. I'm just a bloke in a box, telling stories. And I didn't come here because I'm ashamed. A bit of shame never hurt anyone.

Davros: Compassion then.
The Doctor: Always.

Roxas: This could have been the other way around. But it really has to be you.
Sora: Huh?
Roxas: There are so many hearts connected to yours. You're me, so you can feel what I felt.
Sora: No. Roxas, you're you. We're not the same. That's what I wanted to tell you. That you deserve, just as much as I do, to be your own person.

You've redeemed them."

"Though we gather here today, bound together in sorrow and loss, we share a precious gift. We are all of us privileged to live a life that has been touched by Superman. The Man of Steel possessed many extraordinary gifts, and he shared them with us freely. None of these gifts were more remarkable than his ability to discern what needed to be done and in his unfailing courage in doing it, whatever the personal cost. Let us all strive to accept his gift and pass it along as an ongoing tribute to Kal-El of Krypton, the immigrant from the stars who taught us all how to be heroes."

Superman, JLA/Hitman #2

Ravager: H-Helping people?
Nightwing: That's right Rose, helping people.
Nightwing talking to Rose Wilson, the second Ravager, about Superman

"It is true that being able to use an Oversoul at your age is quite remarkable, Master Hana. But, that is not what real strength is. Real strength comes from sympathising with your enemies.

Finn: Hmm. Jake. What I want is to help anyone in need, so everyone is happy!
Jake: Wow, that’s pretty corny man, but let’s do it dude! Wooohoo!

Or if You're even there.
I don't know if You would listen
To a gypsy's prayer.
Yes, I know I'm just an outcast,
I shouldn't speak to You.
Still, I see Your face and wonder...
Were You once an outcast, too?

God help the outcasts,
Hungry from birth,
Show them the mercy
They don't find on earth,
God help my people,
We look to You, still.
God help the outcasts,
Or nobody will.

Supergirl: You won't believe this, but I'm sorry. On my honor, I am. And if you will swear to stop this battle, I will help you search for your child. That is my promise.
Satan Girl: Ohhhhh, don't you wish, Lightsister. I can find my child. After our war, I will find him. Or her. There is nothing left to us now, except the fight. You would not tolerate my existence, nor I yours. I am not capable of your empathy, of your petty virtue. You are not capable of my ruthlessness and power. Come, sister. Let us destroy each other.
