->''"Y'know, in Genosha, I felt a lot of things: pain, grief, admiration for those who fought despite the odds...but you know what the oddest thing was? No one seemed shocked or surprised...not even me! Yes, I was scared, but really, I had the most profound sense of '''déjà vu'''...as if past, present, and future didn't matter and never had, because [[HistoryRepeats we always end up in the same ugly place.]] Thing is, Magneto knows us better than Charles ever did, knows we know better -- that most of us experience tragedy like Genosha as [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror a bit of déjà vu before getting on with our day.]] But the scariest thing about Genosha wasn't the death, or the chaos...it was a thought, the only sane thought you can have when you're chased by giant robots that were built to crush you: '''Magneto was right!'''"''
-->-- '''Val Cooper''' to '''Bastion''', ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'', "Tolerance is Extinction - Pt. 1"

->''"As a boy, my people's homes were burned to ash because we dared to call God by another name. Then, my people hunted me with those who had once hunted them. I was a '''freak''', born a mutant -- an abomination to their misnamed gods... In history's sad song, there is a refrain: "Believe differently, love differently, be of different sex or skin, and be '''punished'''." We sing this song to one another. The oppressed become oppressors. Xavier knew this, and dreamed we could change, find harmony...a future where human and mutant could relinquish the past and finally... (sigh) ...You claim justice is overdue. Indeed...but so is healing."''
