Ive always taken it for granted that Im fighting the good fight, I gue — 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)."

"Our concern with environment cannot be reduced to what can be used, to what can be grasped. Environment includes not only the inkstand and the blotting paper, but also the impenetrable stillness in the air, the stars, the clouds, the quiet passing of time, the wonder of my own being. I am an end as well as a means, and so is the world: an end as well as a means. My view of the world and my understanding of the self determine each other. The complete manipulation of the world results in the complete instrumentalization of the self."

"[Relationships] never seem to work out, I mean it gets to the point where I have to be extremely cautious. You have to understand, this stardom thing is still new to me, I dont even consider myself "famous". Its 2008: if you have a blog, a mixtape and two pairs of skinny jeans you, too, can be famous."

"Critics of the war plans (including myself) have pointed to the disastrous political results that must be expected: Iraq would break into three parts (Kurds in the north, Sunnis in the center, Shi’ites in the south), the Middle East would be exposed to the onslaught of Iranian fanaticism, pro-Western Arab regimes would collapse. Israel would be surrounded by aggressive Islamic fundamentalism, like the Crusader kingdom with the advent of Saladin."

"There can be no self-government without self-discipline. There can be no self-government without self-control. There can be no liberty unless it is grounded in moral discipline and the ability to do what is right."

"Whenever the press quits abusing me I know Im in the wrong pew. I dont mind it because when they throw bricks at me—Im a pretty good shot myself and I usually throw em back at em."

"Josef Alberss [a former art teacher of Rauschenberg, on Black Mountain College ] rule is to make order. As for me, I consider myself successful when I do something that resembles the lack of order I sense. (around 1949 during Black Mountain College, fh)."
