Quote

London grew into something huge and contradictory. It was a good place, and a fine city, but there is a price to be paid for all good places, and a price that all good places have to pay.

If not for Death, they’d be content to simply exist, but with Death, well, their lives will have meaning — a boundary beyond which the living cannot cross.

So the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is out there preserving and fighting for, and sometimes winning and sometimes losing, the fight for First Amendment rights in comics and, more generally, for freedom of speech.

For some, it was easier to take the leap from the leafless tree and dance on nothing until dancing was done.

You’re alive. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything.

Classic authors should be older than I am, and wiser, and on-top of all their deadlines.

The names are the first things to go, after the breath has gone, and the beating of the heart. We keep our memories longer than our names.

He sighed. It was a long sigh, weary and worldly-wise. The kind of sigh you could picture God heaving after six days of hard work and looking forward to some serious cosmic R&R, only to be handed a report by an angel concerning a problem with someone eating an apple.
