Neither faint heart nor false heart e'er won a fair maid!

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

No one tells me what to write about-- I pick my own stories! I'm a journalist. Everything I write reaches millions of people! I have a responsibility to those people! There's far too much injustice all around us to be ignored any longer!

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

Superman's other identity is the world's greatest secret! What a scoop... and I know how to get it! Hix-Hox-Hex! Kryptonite... appear! Hee-Hee-Hee!

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

I--I hardly know whether to believe it! Maybe I'm just dreaming! Me--Lois Lane-- a superwoman!

You're so confusing, it's driving me crazy! One minute, you're a bumbling clod-- With all the grace of a hippo in orthopedic shoes! And the next, you're Prince Charming... And I'm so stunned by your personality-change I get mushy over you! And what's the point, anyway? We both know you're just a consolation prize to me-- Because I can't have the man I really love-- Superman! Who are we kidding, Clark? Our relationship isn't honest... And that's not fair to you. Or me.

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

It suddenly struck me-- Each time Superman appeared, a curl dropped over Clark's forehead-- And that was the giveaway clue! Clark's signaling device is his-- hair! Whenever Clark runs a hand through his hair-- a special chemical makes the hair give off a unique vibration that alerts Superman wherever he may be! Naturally, we'll have to keep this secret to ourselves, Lola-- As we agreed! Ingenious as Clark's system is... It's not clever enough to stump Lois Lane!

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

Oh, Superman-- You just missed seeing Clark Kent in action! Why can't you be dynamic and exciting like he is?

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

When it comes to speaking romantically, Douglas-- Clark and I aren't exactly the Gable and Lombard of Metropolis! If it sounds like I'm evading your question-- It's only because most of the time I'm not sure of the answer myself! I've known Clark ever since he first came to Metropolis-- And I'm still trying to figure him out!

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

Come off it, Clark, will you? You talk like a coward-- But you and I both know you're not. You're too good a reporter to play the frightened sheep. You've gotten too many stories to feign fear. Why do you act this way, Clark?

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

If this isn't a trap, then I'm Daffy Duck! But the H.I.V.E. is up to something, and I mean to find out what. Perry White, you ruined one story, but I'll get a bigger one!

Oh, come on! That's always been a cop-out-- And you know it! I don't have to be married to you to be in danger-- Just loving you can be risky enough! In the past three years alone, I've been kidnapped 17 times... Shot at an average of twice a month... And been the victim of various other kinds of murder-attempts on no less than 38 separate occasions! So by now, I've gotten the message: If nothing else, being your girl friend isn't exactly going to lower my life-insurance premiums!

When I broke up with Clark... I thought I could get right back together with Superman! But I forgot how I let my relationship with the big lug cool off these past few months! You know, he used to say he loved me-- But now, the only time he remembers I'm alive... is when he needs my help for something... Like on that Vartox case. And what's tearing me apart, Perry... is that... once in a blue moon... he may need my help... But he never needs... my love.

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

Look, Clark, you were good, once... But that was before you became a TV glamor boy! I'm not criticizing... We've all got to pursue our own careers... But you've been out of real reporting for a lonnng time...

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

Very funny, James Olsen! You're trying to tell me Clark Kent's an adult... And I'm worrying about him like an overprotective mother! Maybe so! But still, when I think about him, I can't help getting this feeling of dread...

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

Look, I know you must've given your word to Superman that you wouldn't talk about the mission! Fine, I respect that! That's not what I came here for! All I want you to do, Clark... Is tell me Superman is alright! That this mission is no different from the thousands of other missions he's come back from before!

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

No amount of self-pity will ever bring my sister Lucy back... It's time I started taking a good look at this muddled world around me... And tried to help people in trouble... Like Julie!

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

Other tasks? While you go rocketing around space-- Only the Thorn has fought against the 100! Only 23? You haven't captured a single one!

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

You are the real Superman! Only he kisses like that! Why didn't you tell me? All this time I thought you were a super-convict!

--Lois Lane (Earth-One)

When will Superman realize that he's the only man in the world for me... Worth any risk? By protecting me... He's making me the loneliest woman in the world!

Fifty-nine more days of champagne life! But there's no one to share the bubbles with-- When the man you love is Superman!

For some reason, I feel very uncomfortable around this thing!
