artist would-be wanted
If the audience knew what they wanted then they wouldn't be the audience, they would be the artist.
book chance adaptation
I've never watched any of the adaptations of my books. I've never wanted to, and there's absolutely no chance of me doing so in the future.
order luxury long
Equality and freedom are not luxuries to lightly cast aside. Without them, order cannot long endure before approaching depths beyond imagining.
country america superhero
It has occurred to me that the superhero really only originates in America. That seems to be the only country that has produced this phenomenon.
lonely pain solitude
I am but a stranger ... as we all are. Lonely inside our separate skins, we cannot know each others pain and must bear our own in solitude. For my part, I have found that walking soothes it; and that, given luck, sometimes we find one to walk besides us ... at least for a little way.
technology amish kind
I'm remote from most technology to the point that I'm kind of Amish.
firsts language consciousness
Language comes first. It's not that language grows out of consciousness, if you haven't got language, you can't be conscious.

This is not anarchy, Eve. This is chaos.
littles
I have so very much. I have so very little.

For whatever the future holds, one thing is certain... It just won't be the same.

I try to do things in comics that cannot be repeated by television, by movies, by interactive entertainment.
love-you mean heart
But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you.
names evil done
When the persecution of an individual who has exposed an evil is pursued so ruthlessly and yet the evil itself is studiedly ignored, all of us know that there is something very wrong with the way that our society is conducting itself. And if we do not protest in the strongest terms about what is being done in our name, then we become complicit.
sex moral wells
It wasn't so much all the sex that robbed me of my moral bearings, but all the narcotics. I must say, there's something about opium that goes very well with lesbianism.
