Paragon path oath:

"This is my cause, this is my fight!
Shine through the void with orange light!
I've claimed all within my sight!
To keep what is mine, that is my right!"

Renegade path oath:

"This is my power, this is my might!
I stand alone in darkest night!
With this ring, my foes I smite!
I conquer all with orange light!"


Robin: Two minutes?!
Paul: I have a power ring. Power rings are awesome.

Batman: Orange Lantern. What did you do?
Paulphidian: Kon was dead and Robin was dead and everyone we cared about was dead or stuck in an unwinnable fight. We needed more power. We.. he.. connected his personal lantern to the Orange Central Power Battery and called us.. it.. the.. the Ophidian, through.
Batman: The Avarice Elemental.
Paulphidian: Embodiment. Far more than an elemental.
Batman: Contact with something like that must have been a shock.
Paulphidian: Contact? Contact? It's still here in us. We are the Ophidian, and the Orange Lantern.

Renegade: If you want to make an accusation, do it. I turned up in court when my life was on the line. I'd gladly do it for a lesser charge.
Gardner: Yeah, that's what Luthor says too.
Renegade: And he would. You see, Guy, being the 'good guy' is rather dependent on you doing certain things and not doing certain others.
— "Demeanour", supplementary, Renegade option


Sunset: You set the three of us the task of stopping the war in Darfur.
Renegade: Yes. It was a task well within your abilities.
Sunset: You knew that we would kill people. I-I'm not…I'm not sure what you think you know about Equestria? But it's a peaceful country. I'd never even seen someone killed violently before you.. showed us that. And you sent us there knowing that we'd have to go along with it!
Renegade: No I didn't.
Sunset: You-! Did.. too!
...
Renegade: I let you make the choice. So, tell me. Reflect upon your thoughts and actions. Why did you use lethal force?
Sunset: Because it was the only thing that would work! We tried working out what would happen if we just disarmed everyone, and… And they'd just go back to killing each other again as soon as they would rearm! And they might not even have waited that long!
Renegade: I know.
Sunset: Then why us?
Renegade: I understand that part of the reason why you left your former mentor was that you believed that she was holding you back. This is 'not being held back'. This is confronting the world in all its horror and misery and it being your responsibility to fix it. This is not being able to pass the buck because you can see what happens when you do that. See it as.. not on a report on a scroll or on edited pictures on a television screen, but see it in the flesh. Celestia would lecture you on this subject and you would ignore her. You do not appear to be ignoring me.
— "Family Day", supplementary, Renegade option


Paul: What do you want?
Koriand'r: I suppose… I would like to see Tamaran prosperous again. I.. would like-.
Paul: No no no. Not what you think -upon reflection- might be nice. Not what you think you should want. Not even what you're actually working towards. What do you want?
— "Headhunting", part 11


When I am confronted by the evils of the universe, I will rejoice. F-for when I am done, there will be one less.
— "Rapprochement", supplementary, SI option


Purpose=Failure
Alan: I'm… I'm not sure I can-.
Purpose=Failure
Paul: The people being held down there have been exposed to the Anti-Life equation for weeks, months… And now the League is here. And that means they're going to be freed, because that's what we do. We're superheroes. We beat the bad guys. And the fact that the Anti-Life is as bad as it gets just means that he's going to go down harder because these people do not get to win.
Purpose=Failure
Alan: And I ain't dead yet.
— "Gods and Mortals", part 6


Squire: Didn't think you had much to do with magic.
Dr. Sivana: Oh, you don't put any faith into that silly 'irreconcilability of magic and science' business, do you? Science isn't machinery, it's a wonderful process of examining, theorising and testing. Granted, physics is more my focus than sorcery, but I'm passingly familiar with a dozen magic traditions.
