Marvel Cinematic Universe Quotes

“Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say 'No, you move'.”
― Christopher Markus

“No one bad is ever truly bad, and no one good is ever truly good”
― Michael Waldron

“What is grief if not love persevering?”
― WandaVision

“Those you underestimate will devour you.”
― Elissa Karasik

“Chance does not exist. Either the universe obeys objective laws or it is of the order of will. But not of a will like our own: an inhuman will, in which all beings, minerals, animals, stars and elements are endowed with effective determination. Where the effect is an added extra, regardless of the cause, where the event is an added extra, regardless of history - chance being merely the intersection of all these wills. A universe consisting of antagonistic impulses, in which everything is lucky or ill-fated - isn't that more uplifting than the mere preoccupation with causes and consequences?

The downplaying of reality is a philosophical intuition and there is, therefore, nothing 'negationist' about it. The virtual, in its project of liquidating the real technically, is truly negationist.”
― Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories V: 2000 - 2004

“Let us not be deceived about the cool forms, forms indifferent to themselves, which this fetishism can assume in Warhol. Behind this machinic snobbery, what is really going on is a rise and rise of objects, images, signs and simulacra, as well as a rise and rise of values, the finest example of which is the art market itself. We are a long way from the alienation of price, which is still a real measure of things. We are in the ecstasy of value, which explodes the notion of market and simultaneously destroys the art work as such. Warhol is naturally party to this extermination of the real by the image, and to such an overdoing of the image as to put an end to all aesthetic value.

Warhol reintroduces nothingness into the heart of the image. In this sense, we cannot say he is not a great artist: fortunately for him, he is not an artist at all. The point of his work is a challenge to the very notion of art and aesthetics.”
― Jean Baudrillard, The Perfect Crime

“Fantasy is healthy when practiced with moderation. Too much fiction paralyzes responsibility and reason.”

“Thank You, my Friend.”
― Michael Waldron

“Fantasy and Responsibility (The Sonnet)

Fantasy is good so long as it doesn't make us,
Oblivious to our responsibility of reality.
Imagination expands the mind for sure,
Only when it empowers our acts of accountability.
Growing up in India, I did not have superman,
But I did indulge religiously in some shaktimaan.
I don't know whether it influenced my making,
But it sure did fill my childhood with fascination.
People draw inspiration from different places,
That's a normal tenet of the mind, not a violation.
But inspiration is inspiration only when it leads,
To collective uplift, otherwise it's just delusion.
Fantasy is healthy when practiced with moderation.
Too much fiction paralyzes responsibility and reason.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans
