Book cover for Shadow Hunter (Darth Maul, #2)
Lorn sat on the edge of the cot and stared at the floor. “Here’s all you need to know about the Jedi,” he announced. “Oh, please—not again.” “They’re a bunch of self-serving, sanctimonious elitists.” “I have this entire rant recorded, you ...more

“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

Tom King
“And that's when I learned that far-off gods are fine for prayer, and I judge no person who seeks comfort in the infinity of the heavens. But here below, when the demons come in close, you're better off just relying on the staunch will of a good woman.”

“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

“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
