Kingdom Come (1996)
Context: I no longer care about the mistakes of yesterday. I care about coping with tomorrow … together.

We will no longer impose our power on humanity. We will earn your trust … using the wisdom left as his legacy. I asked him to choose between humans and superhumans. But he alone knew that was a false division … and made the only choice that ever truly matters … he chose life … in the hope that your world and our world could be one world once again.
