17 Lois Lane Quotes That Are Totally You

Smallville ended its run in 2011, but the show's influence is still evident today. The current influx of superhero TV shows is, in part, thanks to Smallville's success. The Superman origin story, which was on air for 10 beautiful seasons, introduced us to some unforgettable characters, like Clark Kent's bestie Chloe Sullivan. But, by far, the best character on Smallville had to be Lois Lane, as portrayed by Erica Durance. Despite Lois being well-established in canon, Durance made the character all her own and made some very important changes, too. Which is why there are so many Lois Lane quotes that perfectly describe your every mood.

What made Durance's version of Lois Lane so great was her attitude. From her constant teasing of Clark to her background as the daughter of a General in the military, Lois knew how to take care of herself and protect those closest to her. As Chloe's cousin, she was instantly welcomed into the gang, and proved herself an asset to the team. While Lois's romantic relationship with Clark took a long time to blossom, especially as Lana kept resurfacing, it was well worth the wait to see the couple finally get together. Here are some of Lois Lane's best quotes for your enjoyment, because they're so, so relatable.
