“I may not be smart enough to do everything, but I am dumb enough to try anything.”
Geoff Johns, Teen Titans, Vol. 3: Beast Boys and Girls

“Green Lantern: "What are your powers anyway? You can't fly."
Batman: "No."
Green Lantern: "Super-strength?"
Batman: "No."
Green Lantern: "Hold on a second... You're not just some guy in a bat costume, are you? Are you freaking kidding me?!”
Geoff Johns, Justice League, Vol. 1: Origin

“I will never fully understand why things happen the way they do on this planet. Too many people hold their tongue here. Too many people hide their true feelings. And at the end of the day, that does nothing but hurt someone. The men and women of Tamaran were always taught to live by their emotions, to trust that first reaction, as it is the most pure. Cyborg argues that you need time to make the proper decision. I argue that time blurs the true intent. To Earth standards, I may appear brash and rushed. I never hide what I think. Perhaps that is why Tamaran was a target for so many invasions. Our captors may have enjoyed seeing what pain they inflicted upon us, for our tears were never hidden either.”
Geoff Johns, Teen Titans, Vol. 1: A Kid's Game
