Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares quotes from Wonder Woman (2017)

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

You were right, Diana, they don't deserve our help. They only deserve destruction.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

I am not your enemy, Diana. I am the only one who truly knows you, and who truly knows them, as you now do. They have always been and will always be weak, cruel, selfish and capable of the greatest horrors. All I ever wanted was for the gods to see how evil my father's creation was. But they refused. So I destroyed them.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

I am not the god of war, Diana, I am the god of truth. Mankind stole this world from us. They ruined it, day by day. And I, the only one wise enough to see it, was left too weak to stop them. All these years, I have struggled alone, whispering into their ears. Ideas, inspiration for formulas, weapons... but I don't make them use them. They start these wars on their own. All I do is orchestrate an armistice I know they cannot keep, in the hope they will destroy themselves. But it has never been enough... until you. When you first arrived, I was going to crush you. But I knew that if only you could see what the other gods could not, then you would join me, and with our powers combined, we could finally end all the pain, all the suffering, the destruction they bring. And we could return this world to the paradise it was before them, forever.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

Let's see what kind of god you really are!

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

Yes, Diana! Take them all! Finally, you see. Look at this world. Mankind did this, not me!

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

Look at her, and tell me I'm wrong. She is the perfect example of these humans, and unworthy of your sympathy in every way! Destroy her, Diana. You know that she deserves it, they all do!
