{{quote|"''I took a look at my thoughts, my appearance, my expressions, my mannerisms and idiosyncracies and didn't like them. So I stripped myself down, chucked things out and replaced them with a completely new personality. When I heard someone say something intelligent, I used it later as if it were my own. When I saw a quaility in someone that I liked, I took it. I still do that.''"|'''[[David Bowie|The Thin White Duke]]'''}}

{{quote|''I mean, what is it with you? What made you what you are? [[Death by Origin Story|Girlfriend killed by the mob, maybe? Brother carved up by some mugger?]] Something like that, I bet...something like that. Something like that...happened to me, you know. I'm - not exactly sure what it was. If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!''|'''[[The Joker]]''' to '''Batman''', ''[[The Killing Joke]]''}}

{{quote|"Okay, so there's this [[The Killing Joke|comic who can't make an audience laugh]]... I ''think'' that's how this one goes, I forget sometimes... Oh, you've heard that one? All right.

How about the one where a [[Batman (film)|mob killer named Napier]] comes to Gotham and-- No, wait, [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?|you're too young for that one]]. I know. This one ''always'' works. So a small-time yutz in a Red Hood walks into a factory, right? He's there to steal the payroll..."|'''[[The Joker]]''' in ''[https://read.dccomics.com/comixology/#/issue/4033/The-Origin-of-the-Joker The Origin of The Joker]''}}

{{quote|'''Hugo Strange:''' I have read twelve different accounts of your past. All different, except for one detail: Batman.

{{quote|'''J.D:''' No. No more! Here are some of the lies you've told us over the last five years. "You went to Harvard." "You have a wife who only has a pointer and "thumb-pinky"." "You have a, a "brother-dad", a "mother-sister"?" "You have two kids, no, wait, you have one kid, no, you had a baby with a Chinese local!" "You're a deaf mute!"

'''Garak:''' I've given you all the answers I'm capable of.
'''Bashir:''' You've given me answers, alright, but they were all different. What I want to know is, out of all the stories you've told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?

'''Bashir:''' Even the lies?
'''Garak:''' Especially the lies.|''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'', "The Wire"}}
