I thought it was the quiet ones that BLOW UP the school/earth/universe? :) (Though I guess that could be considered a "change", at least technically)

Well in the context of who he was talking to it makes sense.

It was his way of calling out a woman who was generalizing the male gender pretty unfairly.

"We had traveled to a thousand worlds. We brought order. Discipline. We appeared to them as beings of light. They saw us as emissaries of the universe. They saw us as gods. And we, in our pride, began to believe them. We believed that we were superior to the universe that gave us birth. We believed that we could transcend this dimension. That we belonged to another higher plain. And in the end, in terms you can understand, we resolved to storm the gates of heaven itself. We applied all our wisdom. All our knowledge. To opening a door to another dimension. A place we believed was the well of souls. The foundation for all life. We would touch the face of god. And in so doing become gods ourselves."

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]APOLLO: Fools. I offer them more than they could know. Not just a world, but all that makes it up. Man thinks he's progressed. They're wrong. He's merely forgotten those things which gave life meaning. You'll all be provided for, cared for, happy. There is an order of things in this universe. Your species has denied it. I come to restore it. And for you, because you have the sensitivity to understand, I offer you more than your wildest dreams have ever imagined. You'll become the mother of a new race of gods. You'll inspire the universe. All men will revere you almost as a god yourself. And I shall love you for time without end, worlds without end. You shall complete me, and I you. [/FONT]
