    Grant Morrison
    “We are the hands and eyes and ears, the sensitive probing feelers through which the emergent, intelligent universe comes to know its own form and purpose. We bring the thunderbolt of meaning and significance to unconscious matter, blank paper, the night sky. We are already divine magicians, already supergods. Why shouldn't we use all our brilliance to leap in as many single bounds as it takes to a world beyond ours, threatened by overpopulation, mass species extinction, environmental degradation, hunger, and exploitation? Superman and his pals would figure a way out of any stupid cul-de-sac we could find ourselves in - and we made Superman, after all. All it takes is that one magic word.”
    Grant Morrison, Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human

    Grant Morrison
    “Doctor Doom was exactly the sort of bastard who would have armed al-Qaeda with death rays and killer robots if he thought for one second it would piss off the hated Reed Richards and the rest of his mortal enemies in the Fantastic Four, but here he was sobbing with the best of them, as representative not of evil, but of Marvel Comics' collective shock, struck dumb and moved to hand-drawn tears by the thought that anyone could hate America and its people enough to do this.”
    Grant Morrison, Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human

    I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control
    “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
    Marilyn Monroe

    Douglas Adams
    “The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
    To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
    To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
    Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

    Gil Scott-Heron
    “Because I always feel like running
    Not away, because there is no such place
    Because if there was, I would have found it by now
    Because it's easier to run,
    Easier than staying and finding out you're the only one who didn't run
    Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described,
    As in "the long run"
    Or as in having "given someone a run for his money"
    Or as in "running out of time"
    Because running makes me look like everyone else, though I hope there will never be cause for that
    Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover
    Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it
    Not running for my life, because I have to be running for something of more value to be running and not in fear
    Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
    Not without showing the fear as I see it now
    Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
    Because of you and because of that nice
    That you quietly, quickly be causing
    And because you're going to see me run soon and because you're going to know why I'm running then
    You'll know then
    Because I'm not going to tell you now”
    Gil Scott-Heron, Now and Then...
