Carter Hall quotes from Smallville

Carter Hall

(to Lois) I guess you never know what fate has planned for you.

Carter Hall

You know, the philosopher Nietzsche believed we shouldn't live for the future, but for the present. He thought that people who chased after some far-off future dream were really running away from their true destiny.

Lois Lane

Yeah, well, Nietzsche can call me a chicken if he wants, but he has never dated someone like Clark Kent.

Carter Hall

It wouldn't have mattered. To him, the true hero was the person who embraced the life that he or she was given and made it better. He called that person "Übermensch".

Lois Lane

A Superman.

Carter Hall

Nietzsche believed we could all be one. In our own way.

Oliver Queen

Clark, come on. Now the whole world thinks I'm a terrorist. I mean, that's not exactly something you want on your Fortune 500 bio or at your wedding, so...

Clark Kent

Well, that's too bad, 'cause I was just about to invite you to be my best man. You're the guy who stands next to me on the worst days of my life. And I want you there for the best one, too.

Oliver Queen

Hey, I -- you kidding? Absolutely. Thank you. (shakes Clark's hand)

Carter Hall

All I can say is when it comes to planning the wedding, just nod. A lot.

Oliver Queen

Well, you would know, right? I mean, you married Shayera, what, a hundred times now?

Dr. Emil Hamilton

Well, I've heard of relationships that withstand the test of time, but that's remarkable. Oh, or not, I suppose. For you.

Carter Hall

Even though I married Shayera a hundred times, I had to lose her that many, as well. Now, I know I don't usually get all warm and fuzzy, but I am sorry. About Chloe.

Oliver Queen

You're not gonna hug me now, are you?

Lois Lane

I'll get you help. Okay?

Carter Hall

No. It's too late. Hey. I'm a pro at dying, remember?

Clark Kent

I should have been there, Carter. I'm sorry.

Carter Hall

Can't always be you, Clark. This is all our fight. Listen. Listen! This is what we do. And my passing means I'll be with Shayera again.

Clark Kent

I owe you so much, I don't even know how to begin to thank you.

Carter Hall

You just did. You hold on to her. Because there has to be a balance, Clark. We can't do what we have to do if there's an emptiness in our hearts. Remember that.

Clark Kent

I will. I promise.

Carter Hall

Oh, I am sorry I won't be able to help you fight the darkness. (looks at Lois) But you have all the help that you need.
