John Constantine quotes from Constantine

John Constantine

My name is John Constantine. And I'm an exorcist. In my line of work, there are days you just need to forget. But some you never will.

John

I suppose it could be liberating to take a leap of faith, to shrug off the burden of proof for the promise of hope. It takes trust to turn darkness to light. And those who trust risk putting their faith in the wrong hands. For there are those who pray for you... and those who prey on you. And no matter how careful you are, sometimes you just can't tell the difference.

John

She's a regular psychic smorgasbord, this one. Picks up impressions from tactile stimuli. Which I'm guessing is kind of a buzzkill in the sack.

John

Papa Midnite. Hell of a party, mate. Sorry I came empty-handed. It's kind of hard to find a dessert that pairs with pig's blood.

John

I cook a wicked breakfast. Bacon, eggs, sausage, beans, tomatoes. Perfect islands in a sea of grease.

John

And what of my rotten inner child? If humanity's what can save us, then overcoming the damage and weakness in my nature, it may be the part of this battle that I dread most. I don't have the answers. I only know that a darkness is rising. And unless I can stop it, the world will change forever.

John

I always figured that one of us would flee to Mexico, but I thought there'd be tequila involved. Or skinny-dipping.

John

Chas has risked much more for me. Failing my best friend, that would ruin me. But failing you, that ruins us both.

John

I've heard it said that ninth-tenths of reality is perception, and in my trade, it's eleven-tenths.

John

Well, you know me. I'm well-versed in the art of pretending to be a gentleman.

John

Looks like Alice has already slipped through the looking glass.

John

My point is we can all shape our destiny, but none of us get to escape our fate. So when my time's up, that's it.

Before you checked yourself in here three months ago, you were working as an exorcist, demonologist and master of the dark arts.

John

It says master, does it? I should really change that to petty dabbler. I hate to put on airs.

No, no, nobody can survive what I saw.

John

Excellent. If you're not confused, you're not paying attention. Now, time for your famous rack of lamb. Nobody should fight demons on an empty stomach.

I'm trusting you with my life here. The least you can do is to share one small personal detail.

John

My mom died giving birth to me.

Or one big detail.

John

My dad said it was my fault. He had a nickname for me, I heard it every night. Hey there "Killer". And after a night at the pub, which was every night, he'd punch my head and say "That's for what you did to your mother, Killer."
