Mick Rory (Earth-1: Pre-Crisis)

"You think by hurting yourself, it's gonna make you feel better about the fire? You don't know anything about me, man. Guess again, kid. I'm you. What? That's right. You're too young to understand. But understand this: it wasn't your fault. I let that flame get out of control, like you said. I ran out without waking anybody, like you said. I was just so afraid. You were just a kid. I spent my whole life blaming you, hating you for something you didn't mean to do. Why are you telling me this? You can't change the things you did. But you can change what you become. Don't be like me. Be better."
