"Life is short. And it doesn't matter how good your grades are – or how many hours you put in at the soup kitchen… You're not safe. Bad things happen. Thing you can't control. Things that have nothing to do with you… And they will destroy you if you let them. Or you can try to learn from them…so that next time, you'll be prepared. So that – even if you can never feel safe again – you can do your best to make sure that what happened to you doesn't happen to anyone else. And if you're very lucky…you won't have to do it alone."

"I think the Punisher's a serial killer, and worse – I don't think he makes a difference. I don't think Gang bosses are exactly strangers to the threat of violence. You've seen the wildlife movies – the shark grabs a few from the shoal – the shoal keeps right on going. But when a hero in a costume stands up for something, maybe that inspires an old lady to make a phone call about what's happening outside her window. That makes a difference."
