{{quote|''I sometimes fancy myself [[Evil Versus Evil|an evil that exists to oppose other evils]] . . . On that day [[Utopia|when the world is completely cleansed of evil]], then I, too, [[No Place for Me There|will go down into darkness]], swallowing curses. [[Redemption Equals Death|Perhaps even sooner than that]], I now judge. [[Sophisticated As Hell|But whatever]] . . . Until that time, I shall not [[Heel Face Turn|wash my hands]] nor [[Team Switzerland|let them hang useless]].''|'''[[Villain Protagonist|Corwin]]''', ''[[Book of Amber|The Guns of Avalon]]''}}
 
{{quote|'''The Operative:''' I believe in something greater than myself. [[Utopia Justifies the Means|A better world. A world without sin.]]<br />
'''Mal:''' So me and mine gotta lay down and die... so you can live in your better world?<br />
'''The Operative:''' I'm not going to live there. There's [[No Place for Me There]]... any more than there is for you. Malcolm... I'm a monster. [[Dirty Business|What I do is evil.]] I have no illusions about it, but it must be done.|''[[Firefly|Serenity]]''}}
 
{{quote|'''Szeth:''' [[You're Insane!|You are a monster.]]<br />
'''{{spoiler|Taravangian}}:''' Yes, but I am the monster who will save this world.|'''[[The Stormlight Archive (Literature)|The Way Of Kings]]''', ''[[The Stormlight Archive (Literature)|The Stormlight Archive]]''}}
 
{{quote|''There'll be times when my crimes''<br />
''Will seem almost unforgivable''<br />
''I give in to sin''<br />
''Because you have to make this life livable''|[[Depeche Mode]], ''"Strangelove"''}}
 
{{quote|"I must protect the galaxy at any cost. I abandoned the moral high ground many years ago. It's not as if the rachni or krogan would show mercy out of a sense of morality. I will pay for taking the low ground after I die, but there always has to be someone that is willing to make such a sacrifice for the sake of something far greater than themselves. It's part of the order of things."|'''Tyrin Lieph''', the [[Villain Protagonist]] of The Council Era.}}
 
{{quote|''[[War Is Hell|In the battleground, there is no place for hope. What lies there is just cold despair and a sin called victory, built on the pain of the defeated.]] The world as is, [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|the human nature as always]], it is impossible to eliminate the battles. In the end, killing is necessary evil - and if so, it is best to end them [[Shoot the Dog|in the best efficiency and at the least cost, least time.]] Call it not foul nor nasty. Justice cannot save the world. It is useless.''|'''Kiritsugu Emiya''', ''[[Fate /Zero]]''}}

{{quote|'''Secretary Bishop''': How long before we're ready?<br />

'''Secretary Bishop''': Oppenheimer saved us too. But at what cost? He couldn't bear the nightmares... the screams of all the innocents he had killed.

May God have mercy on us.|[[Alternate Universe]] scene on ''[[Fringe]]''}}
