Quotes 

• Talia al Ghul : General Shreve, Baron Reiter, Konstantin Kovar. You keep looking for new fights when the real fight has been in front of you all along. Your father literally wrote it for you, a list of all the Yurieviches and Kovars in Starling City.

  Oliver Queen : He told me he left me a message.

  Talia al Ghul : And yet you still don't return home. Why do you deny your father's wish for you?

  Oliver Queen : You saw the reason tonight. I am not the man my father raised! Not anymore.

  Talia al Ghul : You're afraid of what's happened to you, of what you've become, and you're running from it.

  Oliver Queen : How do you know all this?

  Talia al Ghul : Because I've been there... and I can help you find your way back. You think yourself a monster.

  Oliver Queen : No. I am a monster.

  Talia al Ghul : There is a monster inside you, yes, but it is not you.

  Oliver Queen : I don't see the difference.

  Talia al Ghul : No. You need to create one. You need to give the monster an identity. It's only when the monster becomes someone else, some... thing... else that you're free to be Oliver Queen.

• Oliver Queen : You trained Yao Fei? How's that possible? You're half his age.

  Talia al Ghul : Don't you know it's improper to talk about a woman's age?
