Lex Luthor Quotes

The man of tomorrow is shaped by his battles today.

You were right about me all along, Mr. Kent. I am the villain of the story.

Clark Kent: I didn't know you were such a history buff.
Lex Luthor: I'm not. I'm just interested in people who ruled the world before they were thirty.

Lex Luthor: Your new-found advocacy wouldn't have anything to do with a beautiful doe-eyed crusader, would it? Your mother told me about Kyla.
Clark Kent: You ever wondered if you were destined to be with someone?
Lex Luthor: You're asking someone who's fighting his destiny his entire life. I'm a little surprised to see you moved on so quickly. What happened to Lana?
Clark Kent: It's a completely different feeling when the person likes you back.

Lex Luthor: It's hard to imagine working for a man who can enrage four people to the point where any one of them had the motive to kill him.
Clark Kent: Even you.
Lex Luthor: You know that darkness you were talking about? I'm not sure we're born with it. I think people like my father find a way to bring it out.

Now you're saving people in your dreams too. Bet a shrink would have a field day with that scenario.

Lionel Luthor: Lex... things would have been so different between us.
Lex Luthor: Yes, Dad. You might have actually loved me.

Clark Kent: You told me you stopped investigating me.
Lex Luthor: I did.
Clark Kent: You did? Then what is this?
Lex Luthor: I understand how you could think this is all about you... but, in fact, it's about me.
Clark Kent: More lies.
Lex Luthor: So much of my own life I can't explain. I survived countless brushes with death, and it all started with this car crash. If I'm guilty of anything, it's that I've inherited my father's eccentric curiosity for the unexplained.
Clark Kent: You've inherited his dishonesty.
Lex Luthor: Clark, look me in the eye and tell me you don't have any hidden places of your own, where you keep your deep, dark secrets.
Clark Kent: Ever since I've met you, I've been defending you, making excuses for you to people like Pete, like my parents, telling them "You can trust Lex Luthor. He's a good guy. He's nothing like his father." I was wrong.

Lex Luthor: Lana called me. I don't want to hear you were rifling through her stuff like a crazy roommate again. If you want something from me, don't go running to Lana to find it. You really crossed the line.
Clark Kent: All those years we were friends, were you just waiting for me to step aside so you could swoop in and make your move?
Lex Luthor: I don't know, Clark. All those years you told Lana you loved her, were you just waiting to walk away and break her heart? Look, there's a natural tendency to blame the person who's replaced you; I get that. But I didn't take Lana from you. You lost her all by yourself.

Lana Luthor: Lex, we have to talk.
Lex Luthor: We most certainly do. But it will have to wait. I'll be back tonight.
Lana Luthor: I won't be. Lex, I can't live like this anymore.Lex Luthor: Yeah, I don't blame you. Living a lie in a marriage you never wanted. Must take its toll after a while.
Lana Luthor: You're the expert. Setting up a nursery. An heirloom crib. The tears of joy in your eyes when you saw the ultrasound. What kind of a toll does it take, Lex?
Lex Luthor: What in God's name are you talking about?
Lana Luthor: I'm talking about the massive amounts of hormones you injected into my veins to make me believe that I was pregnant! What kind of a monster are you?
Lex Luthor: I don't know where you're getting your information from, Lana, but it's nothing but slander. You know I would never...
Lana Luthor: Don't lie, Lex. It's too late for all that. This marriage is over.
Lex Luthor: Lana, I know I'm far from perfect, but you can't deny what we have between us.
Lana Luthor: Lex, all there is between us is lies on top of lies!
Lex Luthor: Lana, everything I've ever done, it's because I love you.
Lana Luthor: You aren't capable of love, Lex. You never were.
Lex Luthor: It's Clark, isn't it? You never could get over him... even if he is the greatest liar of them all.
Lana Luthor: Clark means more to me than you ever will.
Lex Luthor: Lana...
Lana Luthor: That's the last time you'll ever touch me!
Lex Luthor: ou really think I could just let you walk away?
Lana Luthor: What are you going to do, Lex? Kill me? Because it's the only way you're going to keep me in this mansion.

Clark Kent: Do you even know when you're lying anymore?
Lex Luthor: You know, I've stopped pretending to care whether or not you believe me, so why don't you?
Clark Kent: Because I do care, Lex. And there's a side of you that knows what's right.
Lex Luthor: Wow. Now what would I do without Clark Kent, voice of reason?
Clark Kent: That voice isn't me, Lex. It's you. There's still good inside of you. Let that voice lead you back to it.
Lex Luthor: I didn't know it would only take a brush with death to see your softer side.
Clark Kent: Trust me, Lex, there's nothing that's lost that can't be found again.
