"Of course. Must protect Veidt's new utopia. One more body amongst the foundations makes little difference."
It's such a powerful statement, so eloquent. That's one thing about Walter that I've always loved, that when he was in school, he was very adept at literature and religious studies. And you can see that influence in his journal, definitely.
"No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us."
One of my personal faves. Also, I totally forgot about the blood and thunder one. It's kind of chilling in a weird way.
And yeah, Rorschach's sense of humour is very understated, which is why I love it. Here's another good example:
"Don't worry. Won't insult legendary underworld solidarity by suggesting you surrender name without torture."
