Erik Lensherr (Magneto)

Mr. Laurio, never trust a beautiful woman... especially one who's interested in you.

— You sneaking around in here, Charles? Whatever are you looking for?
— I'm looking for hope.

— Don't give up on them, Eric.
— What would you have me do, Charles? We heard these arguments before.
— It was a long time ago. Mankind has evolved since then.
— Yes, into us.

If we want freedom, we must fight for it.

Mankind has always feared what it doesn't understand.

Women and children, whole families destroyed… simply because they were born different from those in power.

— Who... what are you?
— Let's just say I'm Frankenstein's monster.

— This is our home. This is our daughter's home.
— We are her home.

— Doesn't it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that someday they will pass that foolish law... or one just like it and come for you... and your children?
— It does, indeed.
— What do you do when you wake up to that?
— I feel a great swell of pity for the poor soul... who comes to that school looking for trouble.
