JAMES MCAVOY as Charles Xavier in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).
It’s not their pain you’re afraid of. It’s yours, Charles. And as frightening as it may be, that pain will make you stronger. If you allow yourself to feel it, embrace it, it will make you more powerful than you ever imagined. It’s the greatest gift we have: to bear their pain without breaking. And it comes from the most human part of us: hope.
X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014), dir. Bryan Singer.
“How dare you ask me such a question? He was my only equal. I owe him my life!”
You built these weapons to destroy us. Why? Because you’re afraid of our gifts. Because we are different.
