“Once we have total power, what's to keep us from becoming villains ourselves?”
― Marissa Meyer, Archenemies

“I can't tell if that was arrogant,â€� Ruby muttered, “Or just... you know, honest.â€�
“The two aren't mutually exclusive.”
― Marissa Meyer, Renegades

“But for some reason she had left off the metal mask, and though Adrian knew he shouldn't assign it any significance, he couldn't help it.
Without the mask, he still didn't see her as Nightmare. He could only see Nova.
Nova, who had betrayed him a hundred different ways. But still Nova.”
― Marissa Meyer, Supernova

“There are no unimportant jobs,â€� said Nova, leaning the mop against Snapshot’s desk, “only pretentious, small-minded individuals who seek to inflate their own importance by demoralizing everyone else.”
― Marissa Meyer, Archenemies

“Everyone wants to be a hero. When you think about it, it’s a little sad that so few actually get to be one.â€� Nova couldn’t contain a derisive sniff. “It would be sad, except they don’t actually mean it.â€� Adrian cocked his head at her. “What do you mean?â€� “There’s no rule that says you have to be a prodigy to be a hero,â€� she insisted. “If people wanted to stand up for themselves or protect their loved ones or do what they believe in their hearts is the right thing to do, then they would do it. If they wanted to be heroic, they would find ways to be heroic, even without supernatural powers.â€� She waggled her fingers in mockery of said powers. “It’s easy to say you want to be a hero, but the truth is most people are lazy and complacent. They have the Renegades to do all the rescuing and saving, so why should they bother? It’s easier to just call the hotline, then turn the other way and pretend it’s not your problem to solve.”
― Marissa Meyer, Renegades

“The world doesn’t revolve around the Renegades!”
― Marissa Meyer, Supernova

“I think it’s tragic. For someone to be given these incredible abilities, only to have them stripped away? It’s so wasteful. To know what this world could look like, what humanity could be, if only we all chose to do our best, to help others, to â€� to be, well, heroes. I don’t like to think of that chance being taken away from someone before they’ve lived up to their potential.â€�

“Right,â€� said Nova. “Except, having superpowers doesn’t automatically turn you into some selfless hero. People are greedy and cruel, and â€� for some, having superpowers just makes them even more greedy and cruel.”
― Marissa Meyer, Archenemies

“No matter. She wasn’t reliant on weaponry. She was a weapon.”
― Marissa Meyer, Supernova
