Watchmen Quotes

The Cost of Preventing Global Catastrophe

Ozymandias/Adrian Veidt: Of course, my moral safeguards gave me pause at the necessary sacrifice. A few key regions around the globe - New York, Los Angeles, Moscow, Hong Kong - disintegrated in an instant. Fifteen million people killed by Dr. Manhattan himself. The world's punishment for flirting with World War III.

The Futility of Traditional Heroism

Ozymandias/Adrian Veidt: Dan, grow up. My new world demands less obvious heroism. Your schoolboy heroics are redundant. What have they achieved? Failing to prevent Earth's salvation is your only triumph.
