Quotes 

• Luke Cage : [Last lines]  Sometimes backwards to move forward. Always.

• Luke Cage : I'm done, Willis. I'm not doing this anymore.

  Willis 'Diamondback' Stryker : You ain't done. Not till one of us is dead.

  Luke Cage : You're more like Dad than you think. When I got shipped to Seagate he called me a mistake, too. I'm not paying for his sins anymore. And neither should you. You want me dead? Then kill me. Do it!

• Luke Cage : People needed someone that didn't require a warrant or shield to get things done. Call it a vigilante, or a superhero... Call it what you will, but like it or not, I finally accepted that that someone had to be me.

  Misty Knight : Maybe I could've helped you.

  Luke Cage : This burden is bigger than you. Or me. People are scared but they can't be paralyzed by that fear. You have to fight for what's right every single day, bulletproof skin or not. You can't just not snitch, or turn away or take money under the table because life has turned you sour. When did people stop caring? Harlem is supposed to represent our hopes and dreams. It's the pinnacle of black art, politics, innovation. It's supposed to be a shining light to the world. It's our responsibility to push forward, so that the next generation will be further along than us. Pop said his mantra aloud twice a day. The kids in the shop were pissed but they could never unhear it. "Never backwards..."

  Pop : [Flashback]  Always forward.
