Quote by 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.”

They all said: 'Try to live together peacefully.' BAM! Right in the f--in head! Aparently we're not ready for that!”
