Watchmen, by Alan Moore

"The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!'... And I'll look down and whisper 'No.'"
~Rorschach, pg. 1 (Chapter/Issue 1)

"We do what we have to do. Others bury their heads between the swollen teats of indulgence and gratification, piglets squirming beneath a sow for shelter... But there is no shelter... And the future is bearing down like an express train."
~Rorschach, pg. 26 (Chapter/Issue 2)

"We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings."
~Dr. Manhattan, pg. 5 (Chapter/Issue 9)

"Some of us have always lived on edge, Daniel. It is possible to survive there if you observe rules. Just hang on by fingernails... And never look down."
~Rorschach, pg. 5 (Chapter/Issue 10)
