On paper, this should have been a slam-dunk for me. A secret team formed out of refugees from across time. Yet once this premise presents itself, very little it done with it for the duration. The idea of a bridge person to transition displaced person ...more

Quotes by Richard Gray  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Green Arrow is the embodiment of what one person can do. It’s a theme that comes up repeatedly in this book, one that explains why this powerless archer with a chip on his shoulder appeals to so many people. He wasn’t born of the heartbreaking tragedy of a Batman, he didn’t fall from the stars to deliver humanity from evil, nor is his origin wrapped in the fabric of Greek myths and legends. He is a human character that struggles with work, love, loss, darkness, death, and the weight of his own sins. Like the rest of us humans, Green Arrow is flawed, and a perpetually moving target.”
Richard Gray, Moving Target: The History and Evolution of Green Arrow

“A black hole. The biggest tosser. Magical rogue and gadfly. Scouser. Magician. Wanker. A nasty piece of work. Londoner. That bastard John
Constantine.”
Richard Gray, From Bayou to Abyss: Examining John Constantine, Hellblazer

“Don't yell at people. Stand up for what's right. Put yourself in the other persons place. Respect women. Don't take no for an answer. Laugh at yourself. Don't believe what you are told. Fall in love.”
Greg Proops

“A man's at odds to know his mind cause his mind is aught he has to know it with. He can know his heart, but he dont want to. Rightly so. Best not to look in there. It aint the heart of a creature that is bound in the way that God has set for it. You can find meanness in the least of creatures, but when God made man the devil was at his elbow. A creature that can do anything. Make a machine. And a machine to make the machine. And evil that can run itself a thousand years, no need to tend it.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

“The gunslinger had no idea what tooter-fish was, but he knew a popkin when he saw it.”
Stephen King, The Drawing of the Three

“Ben wished the world was organized by the Dewey decimal system. That way you'd be able to find whatever you were looking for.”
Brian Selznick, Wonderstruck

“An aristocrat? Apart from my deep hatred for birthright and primogeniture, I was aghast at my grooming misfire.”
Tim Rogers, Detours
