“ I'm not him -- I'm a lot more -- and a lot worse. „
~ Batman (Jean-Paul Valley) - Batman #500 (October, 1993)

“ I wonder-- did Bruce Wayne ever feel like that? Like his hatred for injustice, his rage against oppression, were going to burst out of him in an explosion he couldn't ever hope to control? Probably not. „
~ Batman (Jean-Paul Valley) - Batman: Shadow of the Bat #20 (September, 1993)

“ Your quarrel wasn't with me! I'm not your puny Batman! I'm the punishing angel! Azrael-- Harbinger of death! „
~ Batman (Jean-Paul Valley) - Batman: Shadow of the Bat #19 (October, 1993)

“ Don't ever forget it. They're people. Treat them with respect--with dignity--or you'll answer to me! „
~ Jean-Paul Valley - Showcase '94 #10 (September, 1994)

“ I'll tell you something I never admit, even to myself... I'm confused. I don't know exactly who I am, or where my place might be. But I am sure of one thing... I am nothing like you. „
~ Azrael (Jean-Paul Valley) to Bane - Azrael #40 (April, 1998)

~ Azrael (Michael Lane) - Azrael: Death's Dark Knight #3 (May, 2009)

“ It's a long story... actually, it's not. A secret religious order asked me to serve as God's sword of justice. They gave me a Brownstone. They gave me an ancient suit of armor and two swords -- one to make the guilty face their sins, the other to make them long for salvation. „
~ Azrael (Michael Lane) - Azrael Vol. 2 #4 (November, 2009)

“ My armor has changed. I feel the power of the ages... the power of God! I never learned these moves. It's the suit. The armor. It carries the imprint of every warrior who has worn it. I have already died. Nothing can touch me. I am invincible. They fall before me like a harvest. „
~ Azrael (Michael Lane) - Azrael Vol. 2 #17 (February, 2011)

“ I protected this city. I judged the wicked and I removed them like a cancer. Evil must be purged. I can't go on judging each soul on its own merits. I have a whole world to put right. I will judge this city! I am God's vengeance... his Angel of Death. I am AZRAEL. „
~ Azrael (Michael Lane) - Azrael Vol. 2 #18 (March, 2011)

~ Azrael to Batman - Batman: Arkham Knight (June, 2015)
