“His thoughts are like poetry or something. And his emotions… his emotions are so pure. When he loves you it’s gigantic. His love is so strong and direct and clean… when I love you it’s all tangled up with who’s not doing their share of the washing up. And twisted, neurotic little things like that. Sometimes I want to be him all the time and sometimes I wish he’d just vanish and leave us alone."

“I tried to imagine what it would feel like…to be sixteen years old and the most powerful creature on the face of the planet…and to be answerable to no-one. You could do anything, John. You’d never need to turn back to dull, weak, human Johnny Bates ever again. Oh, sure, you could take his name, his identity…but you could stay as Kid Miracleman forever."
