Vanessa Marianna quotes from Daredevil: Born Again

Vanessa

My husband is capable of many, many things. Some of them extreme. Harming me is not one of them.

Vanessa

I can tell you that if the right person walks through that door and sees this painting... sees his own deep, inexorable, miserable loneliness reflected right back at him... I can promise you, you can add two zeros to the list price and it'll sell faster than any other piece out front.

Vanessa

You left the bed I sat beside for months while you recovered. And for what? And now you walk in here and end a meeting with five families by simply standing in the doorway?

Fisk

You've kept them in line. They respect you.

Vanessa

The respect the money I make them. Protection makes people scared. Profit makes them loyal.

Vanessa

I don't like watching everything fall apart.

Fisk

I respect that. You wanted to keep the peace. Sometimes, peace needs to be broken. Chaos must reign, just for a moment, to build a stronger order.

Fisk

You know, politics, it's… It's a different type of problem-solving. Most of it is new to me but some things, they remain unchanged. Find what a person wants and either withhold it or provide it, and they'll do anything.

Vanessa

Not tonight. You're asking New York's elite for money. Sure, they want influence, but they don't need it; it's like selling a busker to a billionaire. It's all just ego and vanity. By simply being there and asking them for money, you're giving them all they care about: reassurance of their supremacy.
