1 " One man"s tool is another man's weapon. - Bruce Wayne "
― Greg Cox , The Dark Knight Rises: The Official Novelization (Dark Knight Trilogy #3)
2 " Suffering builds character. - Miranda Tate "
3 " Our crimes always catch up with us. - Alfred Pennyworth "
4 " Sorry? You expect to destroy my world, then shake hands? - Bruce Wayne "
5 " You have a practiced apathy, Mr. Wayne. But a man who doesn’t care about the world doesn’t spend half his fortune on a plan to save it—and isn’t so wounded when it fails that he goes into hiding. "
6 " There is a prison,” Alfred began grimly, “in a more ancient part of the world. A pit where men are thrown to suffer and die. But sometimes a man rises from that darkness. Sometimes the pit sends something back. "
7 " You can fail as Bruce Wayne,” he said. “As Batman, you can’t afford to.” “Is that what you’re afraid of?” Bruce asked indignantly. “That if I go back out there, I’ll fail?” “No,” Alfred said. “I’m afraid you want to. "
8 " How dare you use Rachel to stop me?” he growled. “I’m using the truth, Master Bruce. Maybe it’s time we all stopped trying to outsmart the truth, and just let it have its day. "
9 " But once you’ve done what you had to, they’ll never let you do what you want to. "
10 " You think darkness is your ally,” Bane said. “But you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Formed by it… "
11 " The shadows betray you, because they belong to me… "
12 " How can you move faster than possible,” the other man asked, “fight longer than possible, if not from the most powerful impulse of the spirit? The fear of death. The will to survive. "
13 " My mother warned me about getting into cars with strange men.” “This isn’t a car,” he pointed out. "
14 " The Batman must come back.” Does he know what he’s asking? Bruce wondered. “What if he doesn’t exist anymore?” he replied aloud. “He must,” Gordon murmured, gasping for breath. “He must. "
15 " Machine guns, missile launchers, grappling hooks and cables—what more could a girl want? "
16 " There are always people you care about,” he said. “You just don’t realize how much until a bad man points a gun at them. Or until they leave… "
17 " Peace has cost you your strength,” Bane declared. “Victory has defeated you. "
18 " You see, it’s the slow knife…the knife that takes its time, the knife that waits years without forgetting, then slips between the bones. That’s the knife—” With her other hand, she armed the trigger device. “—that cuts deepest. "
19 " Have we started the fire?” the man asked. Bane squeezed his arm in return. “The fire rises. "
20 " Don’t apologize for believing the world is in better shape than it is,” the commissioner told him. “Just fight to make it true. "
