More quotes by Jack Kirby
Aw, where we come from the Anti-Life Equation is one of many others--almost as awesome!! But they merely exist!!
Jack Kirby
Nobody ever wrote a story for me. I told in every story what was really inside my gut, and it came out that way. My stories began to get noticed because the average reader could associate with them.
Jack Kirby
I've never done anything bad. I can't do anything bad. It's got to be professional. It's got to look professional. It's got to read professional. In other words, it serves its purpose by entertaining a reader.
Jack Kirby
Once we've learned enough about the universe we will admit to ourselves that we will never know everything.
Jack Kirby
Superman is going to live forever. They'll be reading Superman in the next century when you and I are gone. I felt, in that respect, I was doing the same thing. I wanted to be known. I wasn't going to sell a comic that was going to die quickly.
Jack Kirby
It's not in the draftsmanship, it's in the man. Like I say, a tool is dead. A brush is a dead object. It's in the man. If you want to do it, you do it.
Jack Kirby
If America gave anybody anything it is ambition. Bad things would come out of it because some guys are in a hurry, but that doesn't mean they're evil or anything, it just means they fall into bad grace somehow.
Jack Kirby
There are people that I didn't like, but I saw them suffer and it changed me. I promised myself that I would never tell a lie, never hurt another human being, and I would try to make the world as positive as I could.
Jack Kirby
Our dreams make us large.
Jack Kirby
I would've liked to have been a better businessman when I was younger. And of course, I couldn't, because it wasn't part of my atmosphere. I never lived with accountants, I never lived with lawyers.
Jack Kirby
A man is entitled to draw things in his own style. I didn't hurt Superman. I made him powerful. I admire Superman, but I've got to do my own style.
Jack Kirby
Every father was his own man. He did what he wanted. If your mother went shopping, your father never went with her.
Jack Kirby
I want to be better than five guys. I was that way when I used to box, I was that way in any sport. I want to compete with five other guys. If I beat five other guys, I'd like to see if I can beat six.
Jack Kirby
I couldn't draw anything that was too outlandish or too horrible. I never did that. What I did draw was something intriguing. There was something about this monster that you could live with. If you saw him you wouldn't faint dead away.
Jack Kirby
I didn't have an affinity for horror. But I knew that commercially it was viable.
Jack Kirby
I achieved perfection, my type of perfection - visual storytelling. Storytelling was my style.
Jack Kirby
My anatomy was self-taught. I feel everybody has that ability. I drew instinctively. Mine was an instinctive style.
Jack Kirby
I never duck out of a fight I don't care what the hell the odds are, and I'm rough at times, but I try to be a decent guy all the time. That's the way I've always lived.
Jack Kirby
I write from a people's point of view. I love people because I understand them. I understand an enemy, I understand a friend, I understand grey areas, and I understand black areas.
Jack Kirby
There were very strict social conventions, and you adhered to it, and I think it gave you a lot of character. When a man said something, he meant it. He wasn't kidding around. There were no jokes involved. Nobody was in the mood to joke unless you hit a guy with a baseball bat.
