“Dual” quotes from Heroes

Sylar

[opening voiceover]] On the sixth day, God created Man in His own image, now it's up to us to figure it all out. Right...wrong...good...evil...in each of us is the capacity to decide what drives our actions. So what is it, then, that makes some choose selflessness, the need to devote oneself to something greater, while others know only self-interest? Isolating themselves in a world of their own making? Some seek love, even if only unrequited, while others are driven by fear and betrayal. There are those who see their choices as dark proof of God's absence while others follow a path of noble destiny. But in the end, good, evil, right or wrong...what we choose is never what we really need. For that is the ultimate cosmic joke, the real gift that God has left behind.

I don't give a rat's ass about your brother. Or you.

Mohinder Suresh

[ending voiceover] There is good, and there is evil. Right, and wrong. Heroes and villains. And if we are blessed with wisdom, then there are glimpses between the cracks of each where light streams through. We wait in silence for these times, when sense can be made. When meaningless existence comes into focus, and our purpose presents itself. And if we have the strength to be honest, and what we find there, staring back at us, is our own reflection. Bearing witness to the duality of life. And each one of us is capable of both the dark, and the light.. the good and evil, of either, of all. And destiny, while marching ever in our direction can be rerouted by the choices we make. By the love we hold on to, and the promises we keep.

Where's Angela?

Sylar

Well, you wouldn't pick before so, I had to up the stakes. Save Daddy. Or is it Granny?

Claire

Let me go!

Sylar

Why are you even pretending? We both know you're going after your dad. Even after all the lies he's told you. How he's neglected you. What does that say about you, Claire?

Sylar

That's the thing about the truth, Claire. It stings like a bitch.
