     "But you're the one who gave me the way back into it. You gave me the excuse. Sell my real name, and send thugs *straight* to my door - why, I'd *have* to defend myself, wouldn't I? You're losing to a worse enemy than me *or* the Bat, Eddie. You outsmarted *yourself*." -- Spoiler to the Riddler, Aug '04

     "I know you don't know. But, you have an idea. Hasn't anyone told you that ideas are dangerous?" -- The Riddler to Stephanie, May '04

     We've always fought the secret war - I guess that's called a calling. We laugh as we walk out the door, but we're already falling. The world is small, and there's no room to run and hide from coming doom... The house next door is just a tomb, and there's no point in stalling. -- Seanan McGuire, "The Girls Next Door"

     "Tell me, Steph. When did you grow up?" "When Batgirl hit me over the head enough times?" -- Batman and Spoiler, February '05

     On an inkblot-test assignment for class: "The sixth blot looks like a bat. They don't actually use that one, do they? In Gotham? EVERYONE in Gotham is going to say it's a bat!

     "The more clear become the colours and facts ..., the more surely we may know we are in a dream. For the real world is not clear or plain. The real world is full of bracing bewilderments and brutal surprises." -- G.K. Chesterton

     Spoiler: "Superboy's cloned from *Luthor*?" Impulse: "*And* Superman. So? My mom came from the same family as Professor Zoom -- the first one. One grandpa was a villain, scum of the Earth, and the other grandpa -- the Flash, the second one -- was a /HEROES' HERO/, damn it. And *I'm* all right. Thad was cloned from me and my /evil/ granddad, and sure, he started evil, 'cause that's how he was taught -- but he GOT BETTER! There's *nothing* wrong with Superboy! NOTHING! And there /WON'T/ be! Because Lex Luthor is full. of. SHIT. and I *know* my friend, and I damn well know that it doesn't MATTER where you come from or what your DNA says, what matters is *WHAT YOU DO*. Your own choices! Who you choose to *be*." Spoiler: "I was just - you know - Superboy's got *hair*." -- Stephanie and Bart, November '05

     Tim Hunter's player: "Steph lead-lining her costume would be funny. Working Gotham could be tricky. | Spoiler leans against a wall, arms folded. Batman: On stake-out? Spoiler: No. Armour's too heavy with all this lead lining. Can't move. Send help?"

     "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up." -- Vince Lombardi

If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isnt a nation." -- William Gibson

     "If I let myself get hung up on only doing things that had any actual chance of success, I'd never do *anything*!" -- Elan, _Order of the Stick_ #478

     "Don't worry. I didn't bring a problem for you to solve." "A problem to solve would be a whole lot easier to deal with than the nameless vague concern I've been getting." "But I didn't bring nameless caring support. I brought zombie movies!" "COOL." -- Bart and Steph, September '07
