It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch we are free.[...]
I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one. An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. (Alan Moore - V For Vendetta)
Come... dry your eyes, for you are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg; the clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly. Dry your eyes... and let's go home. (Alan Moore - Watchmen)
They dreamed the world so it always was the way it is now, little one. There never was a world of high cat-ladies and cat-lords. (Neil Gaiman - Sandman - A Dream Of A Thousand Cats)
It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way. (Warren Ellis - Planetary)
Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.
The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown.:

...and I'll look down, and whisper, "No". (Alan Moore - Watchmen)
Laurie Juspeczyk: Is that what you are? The most powerful thing in the universe and you're just a puppet following a script?
Doctor Manhattan: We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings. (Alan Moore - Watchmen)
Did you think to kill me? There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea. And ideas are bullet-proof. (Alan Moore - V for vendetta)
