"This is going to be a fighting ship. I intend to go in harm's way, and anyone who doesn't want to go along had better get off right now."
— Commander Ernest E. Evans, on taking command of USS Johnston.
We were also at that castle four days ago, and fortunate enough to watch your one-on-one combat with Bazuso. But it was dangerous. If Bazuso's battle ax hadn't cracked, it would have been you with the cloven head. The way you fight, it's almost as though you're gambling with your own life. You don't budge an inch against a monster like Bazuso or multiple opponents like Corkus' group. Instead, you run in recklessly, sword swinging. It's no doubt courageous, but it seems that while intentionally exposing yourself to the risk of death, you're also struggling to make it out alive. That's how it felt to me. You're interesting, and I've taken a liking to you. I want you, Guts.
— Griffith, Berserk
Blasting away the guards had actually felt good. My God, [Bond] thought. This was what he lived for. It was no wonder that he inevitably became restless and bored when he was between assignments. Living so close to death was what invigorated him and gave him the edge that had managed to keep him alive for so many years.

The Doctor: I travel with a lot of people, but you're setting new records for "jeopardy friendly".

Arrow: I tried to live a normal life but there is so much pain and suffering out there. So much I have to make up for so I had to go back.
The Flash: I tried to live a normal life but there was too much pain. Pain I could have prevented so I had to go back.
Supergirl: I tried to live a normal life but I can no longer stand by while people suffer. I can no longer deny this part of myself.
Legends: We tried to live a normal life but it was boring as fuck. Let's go blow up some shit and beat up bad guys.

Link: Gee, it sure is boring around here.
King Harkinian: My boy, this peace is what all true warriors strive for.

I'm a thrill-seeker. I want to travel around the world and get wrapped up in as many crazy adventures as I can. And if I help people along the way, then that's even better. It's a win-win, y'know?

Golem: I hear you guys talking about it, and you’re right there, in your element. This is something that you’ve been working on for a long time, and there’s almost an excitement to you. Like you’ve been in a kind of stasis for the entire time I’ve known you, and only now are you really coming back to life.
Weaver: It’s not like that.
Golem: No. I mean, I’m not blaming you, or saying you’re a bad person. You’re good at this, at taking a challenge head on, finding workarounds, manipulating the system to our advantage. You’re doing it for good reasons, to help, to stop bad people. I saw glimmers of that excitement, of the real Weaver, while you were dealing with our bosses, and making connections, offering deals to the bad guys you thought you could bring to our side. But I’ve spent a long time thinking about Jack and watching old footage of him, and figuring out my enemy, my nemesis, and it’s like… that’s you.

"These people are natural born idiots if you ask me. They don't appreciate what they have here. This ship is the match of any vessel within a 100 light years and what do they do with it? Well, uh...let's see if we can't find some space anomaly today that might RIP IT APART!"
