More quotes by William Moulton Marston
Frankly, Wonder Woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should, I believe, rule the world.
William Moulton Marston
Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman.
William Moulton Marston
It's too bad for us literary enthusiasts, but it's the truth nevertheless -- pictures tell any story more effectively than words . . . If children will read comics . . . why isn't it advisable to give them some constructive comics to read?.
William Moulton Marston
Normal men retain their childish longing for a woman to mother them. At adolescence a new desire is added. They want a girl to allure them. When you put these two together, you have the typical male yearning that Wonder Woman satisfies.
William Moulton Marston
Every crisis offers you extra desired power.
William Moulton Marston
If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to draw dividends from defeat.
William Moulton Marston
Besides the practical knowledge which defeat offers, there are important personality profits to be taken. Defeat strips away false values and makes you realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold.
William Moulton Marston
The wish to be super strong is a healthy wish, a vital compelling, power-producing desire. The more the Superman-Wonder Woman picture stories build up this inner compulsion by stimulating the child's natural longing to battle and overcome obstacles, particularly evil ones, the better chance your child has for self-advancement in the world.
William Moulton Marston
Realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold.
William Moulton Marston
Comics speak, without qualm or sophistication, to the innermost ears of the wishful self. The response is like that of a thirsty traveler who suddenly finds water in the desert - he drinks to satiation.
William Moulton Marston
Most of us actually stifle enough good impulses during the course of a day to change the current of our lives.
William Moulton Marston
Besides the practical knowledge which defeat offers, there are important personality profits to be taken.
