“Dead people are infinities of maybes.”
― J. Michael Straczynski, Superman: Earth One, Volume 2

“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

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

“Believe none of what you hear. Half of what you see. And everything you write.”
― Jeph Loeb, Superman for All Seasons
