Annette O'Toole: Martha Kent

Quotes 

• Clark Kent : How could Lana do it? How could she marry Lex?

  Martha Kent : I don't know Clark, but she made her choice.

  Clark Kent : Or someone made it for her.

• Clark Kent : I thought that Titan was the last prisoner I let escape from the Phantom Zone... but looking at all these...

  Martha Kent : If there are any more out there, I'm sure you'll find them.

  Clark Kent : And then what? I don't know how to return them to the Phantom Zone. The only way to get rid of them... is to kill them like I did Titan.

  Martha Kent : Clark... from what you told me, that was an accident.

  Clark Kent : That's what I keep telling myself.

  Martha Kent : Well, what if it wasn't? He would have killed you.

  Clark Kent : Oh, so I just kill him first? How does that make me any different than Titan?

  Martha Kent : What you're feeling right now is what makes you different. Regret, remorse, for a vicious creature who would've murdered you and Lois without a second thought. Those feelings are what make you human. No matter how much you deny it.

• Martha Kent : [discussing Lana and Lex's marriage with Clark]  Honey, I understand how much this hurts. But part of being human, of being in love... is learning to let go. If you can't, I'm afraid the anger you're feeling will always be there.
