“
You think you're cursed. Burdened by this great power. No one is as free as you. Last week you're a crime boss. This week you're a ninja. Your whole life is dress-up. You're so bored and empty that you have to wear other people's pain like a costume. And the only justice of it is that if you listen close with that magic ear of yours... you know that every word I’m saying is true. [...] You needed the thrill of being caught. You've been begging for someone to stop you.

~ Ghost Spider's "Reason You Suck" speech to her version of Daredevil
“Dad, look; I know you're a pretty good cop; but when you put on that badge, it’s because you know that if you don’t, someone who shouldn't will. But you just have to understand something: this suit is my badge, and I'm trying to be good too. When I put it on, I only do it, because it frees me from responsibility. I thought I was special. And Peter died, because he tried to follow my example. I have to take responsibility for that. To even make his death mean something. But I just can't do it in a jail cell. This city is where I'm needed, most.”
