Dick Grayson has been a showman about as long as he could walk. I stil — Dick Grayson

"This fight cant be won if we pull our punches."

"I had a good teacher, except for the interpersonal skills and the ability to work with others. That was me."

"My first thought is for this new Tarantulas safety -- the assumption that she is a potential casualty. Thats a Batman thought. My second thought is for my safety -- the possibility that shes a potential enemy. Thats a Batman thought too. Its not until shes actually doing it that I allow myself to hope that she might be helpful -- a potential ally. Thats a Robin/Nightwing/Dick Grayson kinda thought. My thought. Two and a half seconds in. But better than nothing."(Nightwing Vol 2 75, 2003; by Devin Grayson)"

"But some things never change, like the sight of a Grayson on the trapeze. Cant fake that. Cant hide it..." - Jack Haly, Young Justice, 2012 (Tv Series)"

"What Ive gotten is the realization that you did the best you could with what you had. You werent a perfect father but thats okay because -- probably nobodys a perfect father. No familys perfect, either. I was lucky. I was privileged. Not because of the big house and the money, but because you gave me a lot of yourself. You taught me, you showed me, you encouraged me -- you never lied to me and you never demanded that I be anything Im not. I didnt imitate you because you insisted that I do so, but because I wanted to. Of all the men I knew, you were most worthy of imitation." (Nightwing Vol 1 4, 1995; by Dennis ONeil)"

"I know you follow a code. And I respect you. Youre pretty impressive for someone without super-powers, and I... Appreciate what you tried to do for my boy." - Slade Wilson (Nightwing #80, 2003; Devin Grayson)."

"I should say that when people talk about capitalism its a bit of a joke. Theres no such thing. No country, no business class, has ever been willing to subject itself to the free market, free market discipline. Free markets are for others. Like, the Third World is the Third World because they had free markets rammed down their throat. Meanwhile, the enlightened states, England, the United States, others, resorted to massive state intervention to protect private power, and still do. Thats right up to the present. I mean, the Reagan administration for example was the most protectionist in post-war American history. Virtually the entire dynamic economy in the United States is based crucially on state initiative and intervention: computers, the internet, telecommunication, automation, pharmaceutical, you just name it. Run through it, and you find massive ripoffs of the public, meaning, a system in which under one guise or another the public pays the costs and takes the risks, and profit is privatized. Thats very remote from a free market. Free market is like what India had to suffer for a couple hundred years, and most of the rest of the Third World."

"He, who begins by loving Christianity better than Truth, will proceed by loving his own Sect or Church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all."

"I believe that the unity of man as opposed to other living things derives from the fact that man is the conscious life of himself. Man is conscious of himself, of his future, which is death, of his smallness, of his impotence; he is aware of others as others; man is in nature, subject to its laws even if he transcends it with his thought."

"You cant manage yourself, Root. How do you expect to manage others?"

"Do not try to make the brilliant pupil a replica of yourself."

"I believe that man is in the last resort so free a being that his right to be what he believes himself to be cannot be contested."
