Even in its darkest moments, The CW’s Supergirl always finds the light. With the show’s landmark 100th episode rapidly approaching along with a radical change to the series status quo in Crisis on Infinite Earths, Supergirl is going to need to find the light more than ever.
Over the course of five seasons, Supergirl has given us some truly inspirational gems from its characters. While you may not be made of steel, we hope these Supergirl quotes give you the strength to live your best life.
Kara Danvers/Supergirl (Melissa Benoist)
“I embraced who I am and I don’t want to stop.”
“If the government wants to stop me from helping people, let them try.”
“It’s okay to think of her [Supergirl] too. And not just as some consolation prize. She is every bit the hero he is. She just needs the chance to prove it.”
“[But] I can’t let that stop me from helping the people that need my help. And doing the good that I can do. And you could do a lot of good too. You’re part of my family now. And all heroes are welcome.”
“Now, in each and every one of you, there is a light, a spirit that cannot be snuffed out. That won’t give up. I need your help again. I need you to hope. Hope that you will remember that you can all be heroes.
“Hope that when faced with an enemy determined to destroy your spirit, you will fight back and thrive. Hope that those who once may have shunned you will, in a moment of crisis, come to your aid. Hope that you will see again the faces of those you love. And perhaps even those you’ve lost.”
“I know how hard it is when everything we know to be true changes. But sometimes all we can do is just accept the way things are, and make the best of that.”
“Things are bad I know, but fighting amongst each other, that’s what they want us to do. Other aliens are not the enemy. And the more we fight each other, the more we distract each other from the real problems. They say we are dangerous, that’s what they want everyone to believe. Don’t let them be right about us.”
“I know you feel you’ve gone too far to ever be Russell again, but you’re wrong. It is never too late to make things right, or, at least, better.”
“J’onn. J’onn. J’onn. Listen to me. I lost everything – everyone. It makes a hole in your heart. But you can’t fall into it. You have to fill it. You have to fight. Do not throw away who you are. If you do that thing wins. The last son of Mars dies even if you’re still standing.”
Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh)
“I want to help you heal, I want to be with you and face down your fears and do it together. I want to help you heal.”
“Forgiveness isn’t something that you give to somebody who’s hurt you. Forgiveness is something you give to yourself.”
“Your story . . . your story is just starting. And some day you’re gonna be the one saving him.”
“I can’t promise you a life without pain and loss because pain is a part of life. It’s what makes us who we are. It is what makes you a hero!”
J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood)
“This world is a crazy place right now. People acting, reacting. Escalating behaviors. What our lawmakers are doing. Sniping at each other, going round and round in circles, not doing any good. But like my father said, ’There is great power in being the calm in the center of the storm. A beacon, to show the way.’”
“People make mistakes and they do terrible things. We have to let them do better, bring them back into the light. Otherwise, what’s the point in trying to save everyone?”
“[W]hen the world is uncertain, there’s one thing that’s rock solid. It’s the people who love you.”
“Someone’s trying to sabotage you, you just ignore them. They’re spending all their energy on you, you spend yours on being the best you.”
Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath)
“Finally, I realized some people are just bad. But you can learn to protect yourself.”
“I’m not a villain. You shouldn’t have treated me like one.”
“People like you and me, we do what it takes to get what we want.”
“Trust is hard for me too, Supergirl, but since we seem to need each other, we’re just going to have to figure it out.”
Nia Nal/Dreamer (Nicole Maines)
“You may not know this about me but I am a transgender woman, I know what’s like to be attacked and denied because of who I am. When I saw that alien being attacked I couldn’t let it pass I had to stand up, hold a mirror to that bully’s face and I made a difference.”
“I’m different, Miss Danvers, but so is everybody. And I don’t know when that became a bad thing.”
“The greatest gift we can give each other is our authentic selves and sharing that — sharing our truth is what makes us strong.”
“When innocent people are being attacked, it’s not about balance. It’s about justice.”
“Dawn doesn’t come unless we want it to. But we don’t have to wait for a new day, we are the new day.”
“There’s nothing slight about fashion, Kara. It’s one of the most visceral forms of art. What we choose to wear tells a story about who we are.”
Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan)
“And I gotta say, it is nothing but being told how grateful you should be that someone is taking care of you. Dude, that’s not family. Family is not about scorekeeping or who did more. It’s just about showing up.”
“To fight with knowledge. There is no shame in that man!”
“Lyra, you aren’t, like, some experience to me, okay? You are potentially a real, fulfilling, challenging relationship.”
Querl “Brainy” Dox/Brainiac-5 (Jesse Rath)
“In times like this, change won’t come from a ring or a cape, it will only come when each of us answers the call to stand up and be heard. El Mayara. Stronger together. Just because we’re superheroes, doesn’t mean we forget who we are.”
Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart)
“In order to live, we must keep daring.”
“The thing that makes women strong, is that we have the guts to be vulnerable. We have the ability to feel the depths of our emotion, and we know that we will walk through it to the other side.”
“Now I can imagine that you’re feeling afraid and feeling like your world is spinning out of control. But believe me, you have a power. And right now, you have a job to do. Resist. Resist these invaders with everything you’ve got. They come with empty promises and closed fists. They promise to make our world great again, and yet they know nothing about the people who make this world great.”
Jimmy Olsen/Guardian (Mehcad Brooks)
“She said stop trying so hard to figure things out, and just be still and listen.”
“Heroes go out there even when they know something bad is going to happen. That’s what makes them heroes.”
