Frank Underwood of "House Of Cards" is becoming an iconic character. For most viewers, credit goes to the superb and masterful portrayal by Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey.

While the acting chops of Spacey definitely bring the scheming, shrewd and devious Underwood his infallible aura, the substance of the character stems from a superb screenplay that is accomplished by geniuses.

Underwood's best quotes were compiled by Parade. It would be totally understandable if you read them in Spacey's unmistakable voice:

"Money is the Mc-mansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after 10 years. Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries. I cannot respect someone who doesn't see the difference."

"I love that woman. I love her more than sharks love blood."

"Power is a lot like real estate. It's all about location, location, location. The closer you are to the source, the higher your property value."

"There are two kinds of pain. The sort of pain that makes you strong, or useless pain. The sort of pain that's only suffering. I have no patience for useless things."

"There's no better way to overpower a trickle of doubt than with a flood of naked truth."

"Proximity to power deludes some into thinking they wield it."

"For those of us climbing to the top of the food chain, there can be no mercy. There is but one rule: hunt or be hunted."

"The road to power is paved with hypocrisy, and casualties."

"The nature of promises, Linda, is that they remain immune to changing circumstances."

"A great man once said, everything is about sex. Except sex. Sex is about power."

"From this moment on you are a rock. You absorb nothing, you say nothing, and nothing breaks you."

"I've always loathed the necessity of sleep. Like death, it puts even the most powerful men on their backs."

"The best thing about human beings is that they stack so neatly."

However, Frank Underwood is not the only quotable, iconic villainous character that Kevin Spacey has portrayed. No, we're not talking about Verbal Kint from "The Usual Suspects" or even John Doe from "Seven." It's Pixar's Hopper from "A Bug's Life." Hopper is the leader of a band of oppressive grasshoppers who bully a colony of ants to do their bidding.

The quotes were taken from IMDB and Wikiquotes :

"First rule of leadership: everything is your fault."

"It's a bug-eat-bug world out there, princess. One of those Circle of Life kind of things. Now let me tell you how things are supposed to work.."

 "You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line. That's why we're going back! "

"Let this be a lesson to all you ants! Ideas are very dangerous things! You are mindless, soil-shoving losers, put on this Earth to serve us!"

"I swear, if I hadn't promised Mother on her deathbed that I wouldn't kill you, I would kill you!"

"You piece of dirt! No, I'm wrong. You're lower than dirt. You're an ant!"
