Id forgotten how fast Nightwing could be." - Wally West (Titans: Rebir — Dick Grayson

"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)."

"Agent 37: When I was a kid, Bruce decided to send me away for a couple of weeks in the summer. Hed been as a kid, and figured itd do me some good. Camp White Fawn, it was called. There were kids from all over. Jersey city. New York. Gotham Academy. A bunch of strangers lumped together in tents and cabins to build birdhouses, play tug-o-war, and swat mosquitos. And the weird thing was, all of these kids who started out was total strangers became friends, enemies or "romantically involved," like right way. It happened so fast. Something about everyone starting from the same place... Alone, excited, scared, and missing home... It made all those relationships so much more intense. Thats what "being a spy" is like. Summer camp."

"Long ago we realized we cant possibly solve all the worlds problems. And maybe we shouldnt even try. We understood that we needed to develop out hearts and minds and not just our fighting skills. With all the good that needs to be done, it was impossible to accept that nobody should ever do what we do 24/7. That way lies madness. Trust me, I know. If you come to believe youre a god and you fail, where does that leave you?" (Nightwing #125, 2006; by Marv Wolfman)"

"A chapel is sitting peacefully on the hillside and I wonder if it can really help me find peace. Then I wonder, would I know what to do with all that quiet? My parents didnt much talk about God.

"I dont care who my ancestor was. Or what the Court of Owls wanted me to be, I dont. We are who we choose to be, Bruce. Not the role the past says we should play. The court of Owls is just another bad guy, Bruce. Theyre little grayer around the temples is all. Yes, you made a mistake and underestimated them but theyre not Gotham City, Bruce. And neither are you."

"You prepare yourself for this day … well, prepare is the wrong word … Do you prepare yourself for the sun to rise, or for water to flow from a tap? No. These are knowables. These are eventualities. I knew I would never see him as an old man. No, hed leave us in a box, with jet black hair, and the only lines on his face would be ones brought by injury. You knew it wouldnt end well. Despite all the training. All the brilliance. All the strength … under it all there was just flesh, blood and bone. And a man who never feared death. You know as well as I do he was frightened of a great many things, but his own mortality barely made the top hundred list with him. I just … I … I just wasnt ready to lose him."
