Dark Knight Trilogy Quotes

Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

Either you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain.

You saved me again," she told him with a starstruck gaze. He cupped her cheek and gave her a tender smile in the dark. "Because you are my princess and I am your knight.

One man"s tool is another man's weapon. - Bruce Wayne

Suffering builds character. - Miranda Tate

Our crimes always catch up with us. - Alfred Pennyworth

Sorry? You expect to destroy my world, then shake hands? - Bruce Wayne

The general public long ago stopped looking for beauty in high culture. But it still has TV and the movies....you are far more likely to find genuinely mesmerising images and real beauty in big-budget Hollywood movies -- think of, say, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar or his Dark Knight Trilogy -- than in any European art-house

After everything, she loves you. A real piece of work that one. Fucking masochist through and through. You two are perfect for each other.

I stared into the darkness and thought how it mirrored what was inside me, how it hid the demon others called Puck.

The unhorsing, wounding and capture of the enemy was sought, for corpses fetched little ransom, but in the blind chaos of the charge, death was a whore who did not care who she drew into her darkness, veteran knight or callow bachelor.

There were fairies at the bottom of my garden and they were torturing someone. Technically they weren’t Fae. My people didn’t like to bloody their hands, they preferred to use sadistic bastards like Spriggans. They’d come for me. Finally. After centuries of waiting, my people had demonstrated how long they could hold a grudge.

ANOTHER GALAXY, ANOTHER TIME. The Old Republic was the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time. No need to note where it was or whence it came, only to know that … it was the Republic. Once, under the wise rule of the Senate and the protection of the Jedi Knights, the Republic throve and grew. But as often happens when wealth and power pass beyond the admirable and attain the awesome, then appear those evil ones who have greed to match. So it was with the Republic at its height. Like the greatest of trees, able to withstand any external attack, the Republic rotted from within though the danger was not visible from outside. Aided and abetted by restless, power-hungry individuals within the government, and the massive organs of commerce, the ambitious Senator Palpatine caused himself to be elected President of the Republic. He promised to reunite the disaffected among the people and to restore the remembered glory of the Republic. Once secure in office he declared himself Emperor, shutting himself away from the populace. Soon he was controlled by the very assistants and boot-lickers he had appointed to high office, and the cries of the people for justice did not reach his ears. Having exterminated through treachery and deception the Jedi Knights, guardians of justice in the galaxy, the Imperial governors and bureaucrats prepared to institute a reign of terror among the disheartened worlds of the galaxy. Many used the Imperial forces and the name of the increasingly isolated Emperor to further their own personal ambitions. But a small number of systems rebelled at these new outrages. Declaring themselves opposed to the New Order they began the great battle to restore the Old Republic. From the beginning they were vastly outnumbered by the systems held in thrall by the Emperor. In those first dark days it seemed certain the bright flame of resistance would be extinguished before it could cast the light of new truth across a galaxy of oppressed and beaten peoples … From the First Saga Journal of the Whills

The wit and sharpness of Tim Burton is entirely missing in Nolan’s obtuse movie. Indeed, as Andrew Klavan wrote in reference to the The Dark Knight, Nolan’s trilogy ‘is a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has been shown by George W. Bush in this time of terror and war’.

This wasn’t meant to happen. I wasn’t meant to fall this fucking hard,” he confesses against my lips. “You weren’t meant to be so fucking perfect that I’m convinced you were made for me. Made to save me. To pull me out of the darkness and allow me to see the light again.

I’m sorry, Angel. I need you to trust me, because a world without you in it isn’t a world worth living in.

You’re more than worth it, Nikolas. I’d give anything to keep this, keep you.

I’ve trained my entire life to be strong and powerful. To always come out of any situation as the winner. And I have. Up until this point in my life, nothing has beaten me.  But then there’s her.  My angel. My solace. My everything.

Bottoms up, boys,” he calls, lifting his glass of whisky from the table. “It’s a fucking good night to be Greek.

He loved you before he even knew the feeling existed, Calli. The way you helped him, the way you saw who he really was.

I’d have moved heaven and earth to get back to you, beautiful.

Lifting Calli’s hand, I press my lips to the back of her hand. “I’ve got everything I need right here.

An elegant weapon for a more civilized day,” Ben commented as he returned to his chair. “For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.

I’m Callista Cirillo. Mafia princess. Long-suffering little sister and daughter of powerful men. Well, tonight that ends.

I don’t want to go around kissing all the frogs that Knight’s Ridge, hell even London, has to offer. I just want to find my prince, my knight. The one who’ll put me above all the rest, who won’t keep me in the shadows like everyone else in my life seems to do; but who will drag me into the light with him, and encourage me to be the person I know I can be without the overbearing weight of my family pressing down on my shoulders.

You’re going to regret this,” he tells me, his voice full of self-loathing.  Mimicking his move, I cup his face. “Never. You’re giving me more than you could ever know.

Since we were six years old, it’s always been Calli.

I was only six years old when I saw this beauty in her.  Six years old when I told myself that one day, she’d be mine.

I think of each of them. Toby’s caring, loving heart. Nico’s… quirks. Stella’s strength, and the love she has for Seb, for each of her boys. Emmie’s resilience. Alex’s humour and lightness compared to Daemon’s darkness and rough edges. Theo’s subtle but controlling demeanour that ensures everyone knows who’s boss. And Calli’s quiet confidence that I think the guys misinterpret for innocence.

I will turn this swan into a raven; my goddess of darkness, my queen of death. Because only when she becomes as unprincipled as me, would she willingly stay with me in my castle of dead bones and blood

You are right, little starlight; every man must have a fear no matter how indomitable he thinks he is. But hear this truth, I am not every man.
