long frank has-beens
There has been a rather unpleasant sensibility apparent in Frank Miller's work for quite a long time.
war men people
Most of the people who get sent to die in wars are young men who've got a lot of energy and would probably rather, in a better world, be putting that energy into copulation rather than going over there and blowing some other young man's guts out.
giving-up years creating
Certainly, my many years working in the comics industry, creating products that I do not own, has made me rather fierce on the subject of giving up rights.
thinking world expecting
I don't think any of us grew up into the world we were hoping for or expecting.
heart doe chasms
Does the human heart know chasms so abysmal?
games boards vendetta
They say that life's a game, & then they take the board away.

The world's a stage, & everything else is Vaudeville.
christian believe disease
To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You've got to really be Christian to believe in Satan.

I enjoy putting my mind into different situations rather than my body.

good-day writing emotional
If you give me a typewriter and I'm having a good day, I can write a scene that will astonish its readers. That will perhaps make them laugh, perhaps make them cry - that will have some emotional clout to it. It doesn't cost much to do that.
daughter mother children
And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son; that exact daughter… Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold… that is the crowning unlikelihood. The thermo-dynamic miracle.
technology two benefits
Technology is always a two-edged sword. It will bring in many benefits, but also many disasters.
beautiful imagination dear
My dear, beautiful and imaginative things can be destroyed. Beauty and imagination cannot.
