“You’re fine,” said Luke. He squeezed Haswell’s hand and placed his other behind the man’s head. As Haswell began to hyperventilate, Luke gently lowered him back to the ground, still squeezing his hand. Luke closed his own eyes, and let the ...more

Benjamin Hoff
“We don't need to shift our responsibilities onto the shoulders of some deified Spiritual Superman, or sit around and wait for Fate to come knocking at the door. We simply need to believe in the power that's within us, and use it. When we do that, and stop imitating others and competing against them, things begin to work for us.”
― Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

J. Michael Straczynski
“Life was meant to be lived full measure, flat out, pedal to the metal. Don't live the rest of your life like a Porsche that never leaves the garage because somebody's afraid to scratch it.”
― J. Michael Straczynski, Superman: Earth One, Volume 1

Chip Zdarsky
“Besides, after decades together, I know you better than I know myself. I know everything you’re about to say, how you’re feeling, your worries, your dreams…you’re my heart, Mary Jane Watson, you’re my jackpot.”
― Chip Zdarsky, Spider-Man: Life Story

Jeph Loeb
“And I remember being foolish enough to think... let's fall in love.”
― Jeph Loeb , Tim Sale, Spider-Man: Blue

J. Michael Straczynski
“If there’s any other message in this to readers, it’s in these two characters as icons of hope, that it doesn’t make any difference where you come from, or where you went to school, or who you are, there’s hope. That a kid from Jersey with Superman as the icon that kept him alive for years would one day end up writing the character is as absoutely unlikely as it is utterly inevitable. And if that’s true for me, it’s true for you, if you follow your dreams and your passions in full flight.

Don’t give up.

No Limits.

It’s never too late to learn to fly.”
― J. Michael Straczynski, Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 11: Back in Black
