senmut: Text from Deathstroke comic, spoken from Slade to Wintergreen (Comics: Can't Lose You)

"Rotten, the whole lot of 'em," Jason growled, wishing he had something he could punch.

"You underestimate the power of humanity, young man," Wintergreen chided his student.

"Old man, I've seen the way you operate. You don't believe in people any more than I do."

Wintergreen shook his head. "I see each person as an opportunity, and go into with a realistic view that their personal wishes will overwhelm their goodness, yes. But I have also seen amazing things happen, and been proven wrong a number of times."

"Where do you put the percentage?"

"About half, if I am honest."
