Lex Luthor Quotes (Page 10)
Lionel: It's suicide, Lex! You may get the plant, but you're putting your employee's homes on the line. Forfeiting your own future!
Lex: Or forging a new destiny free from you!
Lionel: You're not my enemy. You're my son.
Lex: I never saw the distinction.
Lex: I don't know. Just got a bad feeling. Kind of like when you can smell the air change before a storm.
Clark: Storms are a way of life around here, Lex. The trick is not to get caught out in the open.
Clark: What happened Lex?
Lex: The two theories seem to be... I either ran the plant into the ground through incompetence, or did it deliberately so I could go back to Metropolis.
Clark: Your dad already offered you a job in Metropolis. Just tell people the truth.
Lex: Then I get stuck with the incompetence rap. Being reviled is the lesser evil.
Lex: You just fired 2500 people and blamed it on me.
Lionel: One day you'll thank me, Lex. Smallville isn't in your future. It's just a brief chapter in your biography.
Lex: Don't do this!
Lionel: We live in a meritocracy, Lex. The weak get left behind.
Lex: So, what is it?
Dr. Hamilton: Well, all I can tell you is what it is not.
Lex: I don't like riddles, Doctor.
Dr. Hamilton: Then this object will make you profoundly unhappy.
Pamela: I didn't come to you for help or pity. I came because I have nothing left to lose. The truth is, I'm ashamed that it took metastasizing to give me the courage. I let that bastard frighten me into submission for so long. I was too scared to even tell you just once... how much you mean to me. How much I wanted to help you grow up.
Lex: I wish you had. I might be a better man.
Lex: Clark, love isn't about playing it safe. It's about risks. Unless you're willing to put yourself out there, you'll never know.
Clark: Have you ever been in love before?
Lex: I've only loved two women in my life. One died and the other betrayed me.
Clark: I'm sorry.
Lex: Some people are meant to be alone.
Clark: I've always liked Lana, but I can never get near her. I just found out that Chloe likes me and I think I may have feelings for her too.
Lex: So which one do you want to pursue?
Clark: That's the thing, I want to protect my friendship with both.
Lex: Then you'll never get either one.
Lex: Hey, sorry about the election.
Clark: My father says you learn more about yourself when you lose.
Lex: What'd you learn?
Clark: I'm not destined to be a politician. You need two different personalities.
Lex: You don't need to be an elected official to change the world, Clark.
Clark: You ran for student office?
Lex: Once. But my aspirations weren't very noble.
Clark: Did you win?
Lex: Of course.
Clark: Do you have any tips?
Lex: You don't need my methods. You'll win on your own terms.
