The Best Dr. Fate Quotes

[the Green Lantern Corps want to destroy Amazo because they believe he destroyed Oa, but Dr. Fate steps in their way]

Dr. Fate: The creature knows only rage and seeks only oblivion. Your mace may be the one object on Earth that can grant him peace.
John: What are you saying?
Shayera: Your favorite movie's "Old Yeller"; you know *exactly* what he's saying. Is this my destiny? To be a destroyer? To betray yet *another* friend?
Dr. Fate: It's not that simple. It never was.

Dr. Fate: I have devised a spell to exchange Luthor and Flash's minds again. But to properly execute it, I must have physical contact with at least one of them.

Inza: Are you all right?
Dr. Fate: Fine. Although there was a moment when I actually thought John Stewart was going to attack me.

Dr. Fate: Solomon Grundy's grave is empty.
Aquaman: Tell me where to find those responsible. Then dig more graves.
Dr. Fate: We are dealing with something far more sinister than mere human avarice. Grundy's grave was forced open from the inside. The site reeks of chaos magic.
Aquaman: He left under his own power?
Dr. Fate: Far more power than he ever evidenced before.

Dr. Fate: I can help you on your journey. In your search for meaning.
Amazo: Help me? Why?
Dr. Fate: Because that... is my purpose.

John: Look, we know Grodd's running some kind of organized group. I'm tired of just putting out fires.
Mr. Terrific: We need to find his new secret society and take the fight to them.
The: Guys, I'm not arguing that. There's just gotta be another way.
Mr. Terrific: This is it. When Grodd took control of your mind a couple of years ago, even though that connection was broken, he left a psychic resonance.
Dr. Fate: I can mystically access that resonance and trace it to Grodd, wherever he hides.
Red: And when we do find Grodd, we'll likely find Luthor, Bizarro, and any number of wanted criminals.
The: No doubt, but I don't like strangers nosing around in my brain. No offense, Doc.
Dr. Fate: I assure you, I won't be reading your thoughts. Your mind is simply a portal.
The: This really seems like it's more up J'onn's alley.
John: J'onn's not here.
The: What do you say we go check with Batman? He's got clues.

John: We need to find him before he hurts anyone else, Flash. This may be our only shot.

J'onn: You've come to offer help?
Dr. Fate: Not help. Hope.

Dr. Fate: Are you certain you're up to this?
Shayera: Doesn't matter. Bad guy or not, he sacrificed his life to save ours. We owe him the benefit of the doubt.
Dr. Fate: Very well.

Dr. Fate: I've learned the hard way that the energy-dampening properties of this device can disrupt fundamental forces. So I've kept it hidden in a pocket dimension, away from the magic that must flow freely in my home. But if you are truly ready to take up the fight again...
Shayera: [removing her mace] I'm ready.

Clark: [referring to Amazo] You let him out of the Tower now?

Dr. Fate: I could've told you that wouldn't work.
Aquaman: She was once one of the fiercest warriors I'd ever met. What's she doing here?
