I've endured fires, blackouts, and riots, but I've never been forced to evacuate my own city room... until now.

--Perry White (New Earth)

The truth. Maybe it's an archaic concept these days, but I live by it. I've given my word to the people of this city that the Planet will always report the truth. No matter the risk. Somebody has to take a stand.

--Perry White (New Earth)

It's the politicians we should be toasting. For once they've shown some backbone -- done the right thing. And I for one have never been prouder to print any story. So, sure -- I'll raise my glass with the staff. We'll drink to victory even as we stand on the edge of defeat. But, by Caesar, at least we stand united.

--Perry White (New Earth)

Relax, Lois. Relax. You were beaten to it, that's all. Happens to the best reporters. Used to happen to me all the time. And you might as well take a good look at the fella who got the Superman story ahead of you. He's joined the Planet staff, as of today. Lois Lane, meet Clark Kent!

--Perry White (New Earth)

--Perry White (New Earth)

Walking into possible danger in pursuit of a story is good journalism. Walking into a death trap is just plain stupid!

--Perry White (New Earth)

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

--Perry White (New Earth)

Great Caesar's Ghost!

--Perry White (New Earth)

Clark Kent and Lois Lane are the biggest professional rivals on the Planet staff... but he's obviously carrying a torch for her bigger than Lady Liberty's.

--Perry White (New Earth)

You may be ready to crawl away to some retirement village in Florida, but I'm not! You haven't heard the last of this, you old @#$%! And neither have the rest of you! Bunch of tired-out old %#$@ sitting around on your pimply old $%#&@s all day! I remember when this was a real newspaper, not a %#@& rich man's... er... oh... ah... if you'll... er... excuse me, ma'am...
