Did I ever tell you the first carnival act that Joseph and I ever saw was the trapeze? The way they flung themselves through the air, we both thought they had powers, just like us. But when we went backstage, the man told us the only power he had was gravity. No matter how high he went, it was always there to catch him. I've come to realize that gravity is different things to people. For much of my life, Joseph was mine.
S4 E16Pass/Fail
What I did was wrong, I know that. But I was willing to sacrifice myself to protect you. To save this family that we've all come to love. But the outside world has proven once again that people like us will never be accepted. We've all seen it - in the eyes of those who come to see our shows... dazzled by our abilities, but filled with revulsion over who we are. I saw it again yesterday, in that small town over the hill. And today in the bullets that struck me and murdered our dear Lydia. It's time. It's time we put fear behind us. It's time we showed the world... what we truly are.
S4 E17The Wall
Do you know how powerful I can really be? If I brought them all here? My brother said I could move mountains, cities. I wonder, is it true? Can I change the world?

I hope to God we never find out.
Claire, you will inherit this new world; it's your legacy. And you will remind them what I've done long after I've gone. That's why it's so important for you to be a part of our family.
You are desperate. And you're small. I will never be a part of your family.
S4 E18The Wall
What so we can save what's-her-name? [Peter punches him in the face]
Her name's Emma.
I can't bring Nathan back Peter, but I can sure as Hell swing a sledgehammer.
It doesn't matter what I believe anymore. Because the whole world is about to find out about you. We can thank Samuel for that.
Maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe the world is more ready than you think it is. Things change.
Sure. There might be curiosity for a while, but all it takes is one Sylar, and then the pitchforks come out and all hell breaks loose. I've seen it. They will turn on you, Claire. It's human nature. You're right. Things change. But people don't.
Hiro, there's no such thing as stepping on a "small butterfly".
Sylar, please. Listen to me. Please, Samuel made me do it.
Really? 'Cause I thought you were the puppet master.
Oh, come on. What do you care about this girl, anyway?
I am here to save her.
That's not you. You're like me.
No... I'm a hero.
[Peter tackles Samuel off-stage with flight then battles him with his own power]
I see you've found my power!
Funny how that works isn't it? I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone now.
Peter, you of all people should know they have to fear us! That's the only way they'll respect us. All you've ever wanted is respect. We both know what it's like to live in the shadow of a brother. Joseph destroyed my potential, kept me down, just like your brother.
My brother didn't let me down. He built me up.
I gotta say, I never liked carnivals.
S4 E19Brave New World
You're just like me
No... I'm a hero.
That's right... It's a brave new world.
My name is Claire Bennet, and this is attempt number... I guess I've kinda lost count.
