The Flash, Season 4

[Devoe and Marlize's first meeting at a classroom panel discussion at Oxford]

DeVoe:
The Taoists, in pursuit of immortality, discovered gunpowder. Alfred Nobel created the Nobel Prize so he wouldn't be remembered as the man who invented dynamite. History has shown us time and time again that whenever a technological advancement can be used to hurt humanity, it will be.

Marlize:
You can't blame technology for the way men choose to use it, Professor.

DeVoe:
You can't ignore that the best of ideas by the smartest of men often have a way of becoming corrupted.
