Slave to PR/Quotes


"Niska has his own code - twisted, though it may be. Very excited about reputation."
—Zoe, Firefly
"Widely recognized as a tyrannical megalomaniac who prided himself on cruelty and ruled through fear, Caligula was nearly undone by an underground smear campaign to depict him as a 'pretty nice guy.' Other sculptures and frescoes of the time libelously show him flying a kite and helping an old lady cross the Appian Way. An incensed Caligula immediately went into 'damage control' by publicly sodomizing a puppy."
—America: The Book

Tombstone: (saving Spidey from Ock and Silvermane) Sorry, Doctor. Too many witnesses. L. Thompson Lincoln can't be seen collaborating with supervillains and gangsters.

Doctor Octopus: Then L. Thompson Lincoln...IS WEAK!
—The Spectacular Spider-Man


Niska: You have reputation! Malcom Reynolds gets it done, is the talk.
Mal: Well, I'm glad to hear that.
Niska: You know what is reputation? Is people talking, is gossip. I also have reputation; not so pleasant, I think you know. Crow!
(Crow opens the door to show a tortured corpse hanging upside down from a meat-hook in a walk-in freezer.)

Niska: Now for you, my reputation is not from gossip. You see this man? Ehh, he does not do the job. I show you what I do with him, and now for you my reputation is fact. Is solid. You do the train job for me, then you are solid.
—Firefly
Delenn: Our entire world is watching, Shakiri. If you believe so much in your caste, step into the circle and die for them.
—Babylon 5
