Doctor Manattan "As I come to understand Vietnam and what it implies about the human condition, I also realize that few humans will permit themselves such an understanding. Blake's different. He understands perfectly... and he doesn't care."

The Comedian "Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Pregnant woman. Gunned her down. Bang. And y'know what? You watched me. You coulda changed the gun into steam or the bullets into mercury or the bottle into snowflakes! You coulda teleported either of us to goddamn Australia...but you didn't lift a finger! You don't really give a damn about human beings. I've watched you. You never cared about whatsername, Janey Slater, even before you ditched her. Soon you won't be interested in Sally Jupiter's little girl, either. You're driftin' outta touch, Doc. You're turnin' into a flake. God help us all."

The Comedian "You people are a joke. You hear Moloch's back in town, you think "Oh, boy! Let's gang up and bust him!" You think that matters? You think that solves anything?"


NITE OWL II "Protection? Who are we protecting them from?
The Comedian "From themselves! Whatsa matter? You afraid when you're not up against some schmuck in a Halloween outfit?"


out of all the characters in Watchmen, the only ones who actually see "the truth" are The Comedian and Ozymandias and maybe Rorschach.

"You know what I wish? I wish all the scum of the Earth had one throat, and I had my hands around it." -Rorschach
This was not in the GN was it. I saw it on a poster BUT i heard Alan Moore said it in Absolute Watchmen

Hiya, new.

I love the grafitti
"One in eight go mad".


edit: hehe, and I also love how my avatar fits the first-posts-rank of this forum.

.

Thanks for the welcome. <|8)


Heh, yea, the grafitti being changed at the end of the book adds some extra joy.


Oh, another one:

"C'mon... I'll show you where the real heavy duty thinking gets done around here.
We call it the bestiary."

Perfect name. A physicists' insider joke that they love so much (I think).

As well as the writing on the place's pinboard:
"At play amidst the Strangeness and Charm."

My favorite quote is the same as the one in my signature. Manhattan's "You're going to try to convince me to save the world." to Laurie is easily my favorite line and once I heard the way Crudup said it was perfect in my mind. Billy's perfect monotone made me love Manhattan even more.
