Just an interesting exercise I went through: essentially finding quotes that break down a villian group's concept into its essence, for the most part.
They'll come at you sideways. It's how they think. It's how they move. Sidle up and smile. Hit you where
you're weak.
(Nemesis)
The truest evil is not achieved by the men who think themselves
the villain. The truest evil is done by the good man who
does what he feels he must, and thus he does it without hesitation.
(Malta Group)
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
(Carnival of Shadows)
Peace through Power!
(Arachnos)
Our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am but a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to
make you like me. To push you out of the light.
(Praetorians)
Of course, it's not true, but the world only believes what the media tells them to believe... and I tell the media what to believe; it's really
quite simple.
(Crey)
For I do not intend to toil beneath another forever. The seeds of my victory have been carefully sowed, and will one day
bear a full harvest. I cannot say that you will have gained my respect, but I will acknowledge that you fought well. Drink deeply of your success. Bask in the
adulation of your peers. Savor this victory. Know that you have saved your world and this moment from the shadow of history. But you have only saved it for
now. Do not think that you have saved the world for your future. Know that you have saved this world for my coming dominion.

Mother Earth is here...and she's pissed!
(Devouring Earth)
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a
placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own
direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of
our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
(Rularuu)
As long as there is man, there will be violence.
As long as there is violence, there will be war.
And as long as there is war... we will always have a job.

waste."
