- "I want you to accept what you fear the most... that your family died for nothing. You believed they were sacrificed in exchange for your gifts. That they died so that you could save the world, one person at a time. And now you pretend like you never wanted it? You're terrified you've already failed them. And you have. Because you are not, and you never will be, a hero."
- ―Gregory Sallinger to Jessica Jones[src]
