Quotes[]
- “Well, If you want to change the world, follow me. This is how change happens. A new regime, rising up to overthrow the old. You can't be naive enough to think your world is perfect. Poverty, disease, hunger, corruption. These are the very reasons people turn to spirituality and religion, and yet the world still suffers. Some things need to be razed to the ground, but only so we can rebuild, and the new world we will build, will be greater than you can ever imagine. Or you live a life of endless torture. Your choice.”
- ―Morgan le Fay to The Runaways
- “You're supposed to be some great powerful witch? Blah blah blah. You got the look, I'll give you that. Cape's a bit much for my taste, but I'm not gonna judge a woman for what she wears, you do you. Don't try to tell me that you're some kind of symbol of female empowerment. The truth is that you are a bully and all you want is power for yourself.”
- ―Gert Yorkes to Morgan le Fay
Trivia[]
