Arthur Fleck works as a clown and is an aspiring stand-up comic. He has mental health issues, part of which involves uncontrollable laughter. Times are tough and, due to his issues and occupation, Arthur has an even worse time than most. Over time these issues bear down on him, shaping his actions, making him ultimately take on the persona he is more known as...Joker.
Before I start listing down my favorite quotes of Joker I would like praise the legendary Heath Ledger for delivering these quotes so remarkably that we the viewers went completely crazy over them!
Joker wasn’t just a smartass criminal he was an agent of “chaos”. And his philosophy about life was the driving force for all his activities. All the quotes of Joker are some truths that are harder to accept. So here goes my list :
1.If you are good at something never do it for free!
This is perfectly applicable in our present world scenario.This is my favorite quote.
2.What doesn't kill you makes you stranger!
Yeah ‘stranger’ not ‘stronger’! Because seeing death closely changes your mind and perspective beyond imagination.
3.Madness, as you know, is like gravity, all it takes is a little push.
Well you see although we try to keep everything neutral, under control..even a simple reason can push us to the extremes and lead to chaos! Instability is the new ‘constant’.
4.It's not about money... it’s about sending a message. Everything burns!
Joker wasn’t a simple criminal running after power or money! No! He was someone who wanted to watch people ‘burn’ in the chaos!
5.Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can’t savor all the… little emotions. In….you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?
This one is pretty intense. This shows Joker was a sadist. He would like to watch people suffer. A quick death is too easy ‘suffering’ causes the real pain.
6.The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules and tonight, you're going to break your one rule.
They say “Rules are made ,to be broken.” It is true. Here Joker was trying to tell Batman that when the society no longer needs him..he would be become as outcast.(Joker was proved right later!)
7.You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan". Even if the plan is horrifying. If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!
One hell of a quote! Going according to the plan(whatever it may be) keeps things under control….but without it..even a little disorder can create chaos.
8.Ya wanna know how I got these scars? My father; was a drinker; and a fiend. And one night, he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy grabs the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and say, why so serious? He comes at me with the knife. Why so serious? Sticks the blade in my mouth. Let's put a smile on that face! Aaaaaand. Why so serious?
This quote became famous just because of the remarkable way it was delivered by Heath Ledger.
9.“You… you just couldn’t let me go could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You are truly incorruptible aren’t you. You won’t kill me because of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won’t kill you because…you’re just too much fun. I get the feeling that you and I are destined to do this forever.”
Nobody can be as manipulative as Joker I suppose!
10.Let’s put a smile on that face.
Joker sounds creepy in this line. This creepiness mixed up with sadism makes him who he is!
