Wonder Woman Quotes

Diana How long until we reach the war?

Steve The war? Which part? The Western Front in France is 400 miles long, from the Alps to the North Sea.

Diana Where the fighting is the most intense, then. If you take me there, I'm sure I'll find Ares.

Steve Ares, as in the... the god of war?

Diana The god of war is our responsibility. Only an Amazon can defeat him. With this. And once I do, the war will end.

Steve Look, I, uh... I appreciate your spirit, but this war is... it's a great big mess. And, uh, there's not a whole lot you and I can do about that. I mean, we can get back to London and try to look for men who can--

Diana I'm the man who can! And once I find and destroy Ares, the German armies will be freed from his influence, and they will be good men again, and the world will be better.

Steve Great...

Diana You'll see.

Hippolyta You will train her harder than any Amazon before her. Five times harder, ten times harder, until she is better than even you. But she must never know the truth, about what she is and how she came to be.

Isabel Maru / Doctor Poison Something did come to me last night. A different type of gas, for you. To restore your strength.

Diana Prince / Wonder Woman It's not about "deserve". It's about what you believe. And I believe in Love.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares Let's see what kind of god you really are!

Sameer Everyone is fighting their own battle, Diana. Just as you're fighting yours.

Steve Trevor It has to be me. I can save today. You can save the world. I wish we had more time. I love you!

Diana Prince / Wonder Woman What one does when faced with the truth is more difficult than you think.

Etta Candy Really, specs? And suddenly she's not the most beautiful woman you've ever seen?

Diana No! After everything I saw, it can't be! It cannot be! They were killing each other. Killing people they cannot see. Children. Children! No, it had to be him, it cannot be them.

Steve Diana, people--

Diana She was right. My mother was right. She said, "The world of men do not deserve you". They don't deserve our help.

Steve It's... it's not about "deserve". Maybe-maybe we don't. But it's not about that, it's about what you believe. You don't think I get it after what I've seen out there? You don't think I wish I could tell you that it was one bad guy to blame? It's not! We're all to blame.

Diana I'm not.

Steve But maybe I am!

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares Look at her, and tell me I'm wrong. She is the perfect example of these humans, and unworthy of your sympathy in every way! Destroy her, Diana. You know that she deserves it, they all do!

Diana Prince / Wonder Woman I used to want to save the world. This beautiful place. But I knew so little then. It is a land of magic and wonder. Worth cherishing in every way. But the closer you get, the more you see the great darkness shimmering within. And mankind? Mankind is another story altogether. What one does when faced with the truth, is more difficult than you think. I learned this the hard way. A long long time ago. And now, I will never be the same.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares I am not your enemy, Diana. I am the only one who truly knows you, and who truly knows them, as you now do. They have always been and will always be weak, cruel, selfish and capable of the greatest horrors. All I ever wanted was for the gods to see how evil my father's creation was. But they refused. So I destroyed them.

Antiope NEVER let your guard down! You expect a battle to be fair! A battle will NEVER be fair!

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares You will help me destroy them, Diana. Or you will die.

Steve Trevor My father told me once, he said, "If you see something wrong happening in the world, you can do nothing or you can do something." And I already tried nothing.

Diana Is this what people do when there are no wars to fight?

Steve Yeah... This and other things.

Diana What things?

Steve Umm, they have breakfast. They love their breakfast. And, umm, they love to wake up and read the paper and go to work, they get married, make some babies, grow up together. I guess.

Diana What is that like?

Steve I have no idea.

Diana Prince / Wonder Woman I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind; but then I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light. I learnt that inside every one of them there will always be both. The choice each must make for themselves – something no hero will ever defeat. And now I know ... that only Love can truly save the world. So now I stay, I fight, and I give – for the world I know can be. This is my mission now. Forever.

Diana Prince / Wonder Woman You're wrong about them. They're everything you say... but so much more.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares I am not the god of war, Diana, I am the god of truth. Mankind stole this world from us. They ruined it, day by day. And I, the only one wise enough to see it, was left too weak to stop them. All these years, I have struggled alone, whispering into their ears. Ideas, inspiration for formulas, weapons... but I don't make them use them. They start these wars on their own. All I do is orchestrate an armistice I know they cannot keep, in the hope they will destroy themselves. But it has never been enough... until you. When you first arrived, I was going to crush you. But I knew that if only you could see what the other gods could not, then you would join me, and with our powers combined, we could finally end all the pain, all the suffering, the destruction they bring. And we could return this world to the paradise it was before them, forever.

Diana Prince / Wonder Woman I will fight – for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares Yes, Diana! Take them all! Finally, you see. Look at this world. Mankind did this, not me!

Chief Napi I have nowhere else. The last war took everything from my people. We have nothing left. At least here, I'm free.

Steve Trevor I am taking you to the front. We are probably gonna die. This is a terrible idea!

Charlie Maybe you're better off without me, yeah?

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares You were right, Diana, they don't deserve our help. They only deserve destruction.

Steve I can't let you do this.

Diana What I do is not up to you.

Steve This is ], Diana! It means no man can cross it, alright? This battalion has been here for nearly a year and they've barely gained an inch. Alright? Because on the other side there are a bunch of Germans pointing machine guns at every square inch of this place. This is not something you can cross. It's not possible.

Diana So … what? … so we do nothing?!

Steve No – we are doing something. We are! We just … we can't save everyone in this war. This is not what we came here to do.

Diana No. But it is what I am going to do.

General Erich Ludendorff Ah, you know your ancient Greeks. They understood... That war is a god. A god who requires human sacrifice. In exchange, war gives man purpose. Meaning. A chance to rise above his petty mortal little self and be courageous. Noble. Better.

Steve Trevor I love fire, don't you? It is like a living act of entropy. The ultimate weapon of destruction. Reminding us that in the end everything eventually returns to the ash it came from.
