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
My parents loved me. My father used to carry me around on my shoulders. I know my father loved me. All families love their children, and we were good boys.
Jack Kirby
Speaking as a human being, not as a businessman - the unions are great. The unions are great for the working people because they protect you, but I didn't see them that way as a young man. First of all, the papers would connect them with thee communists - labor unions were communists.
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
Once we've learned enough about the universe we will admit to ourselves that we will never know everything.
Jack Kirby
There was violence because first of all, there were ethnic differences and names. If you were small, they called you a runt, and you had to do something about that even if there were five other guys.
Jack Kirby
Any kind of music can be written badly and it can be written wonderfully. I admire a top performer in any field.
Jack Kirby
When Superman came out it galvanized the entire industry. It's just part of the American scene.
Jack Kirby
I had to make a living. I was a married man. I had a wife. I had a home. I had children. I had to make a living. That's the common pursuit of every man.
Jack Kirby
You fought fair. If the other guy wants to fight and you knocked him out, you did your best for him. You didn't want to hurt him any more.
Jack Kirby
I always enjoyed doing monster books. Monster books gave me the opportunity to draw things out of the ordinary. Monster books were a challenge - what kind of monster would fascinate people?
Jack Kirby
I had very high respect for the Pratt Institute, but I thought that I had done my best, and that was not their version of the best.
Jack Kirby
I didn't have an affinity for horror. But I knew that commercially it was viable.
Jack Kirby
I admired anybody who could make a buck with his drawing.
Jack Kirby
I achieved perfection, my type of perfection - visual storytelling. Storytelling was my style.
Jack Kirby
I was being brought up on peasant stories my mother came from Europe and she'd been a peasant and that was the area where the Frankensteins and the Draculas came from and it was entertainment for the people. Nobody had TV, and that was the way peasants would entertain themselves, by telling these stories.
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
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
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
I won't do anything bad, and I resent very deeply bad people who haven't got the ability, who try to interfere with the kind of work I'm trying to do because nobody's going to benefit from it.
Jack Kirby
