“Lila was afraid of love. But she couldn't voice it. Instead, she continued smoking her cigarette, hand shaky, shoulders trembling, heartbeat soaring. Yet her voice was cool through her gift of acting. "I care about you, Kent.”

“Making her debut in 1947, Black Canary was the archetype of the new Film Noir era heroine. Originally, Black Canary was a mysterious female vigilante, who played the role of criminal in order to infiltrate the underworld and bring its gangsters to justice. A gorgeous blonde in a low cut black swimsuit, bolero jacket and fishnet tights, Black Canary was actually Dinah Drake, a florist who wore her black hair tied in a bun, and sensible, high-necked blouses. When trouble brewed, Dinah slipped into her fishnets and pinned on a blonde wig to become the gutsy, karate chopping Black Canary. But Dinah had another incentive to lead a secret life. A roguishly handsome private detective named Larry Lance became a frequent customer in Dinah’s florist shop. He had a knack for getting into trouble, and Dinah would usually end up switching into her Black Canary guise to rescue him.”

“Perhaps the suspicions stemmed from the distinct lack of women in Batman’s world. True, he crafted his Bruce Wayne alter ego to be an idle playboy, which meant there were a lot of beautiful women in his life. But, the most important female figure in his world seemed only to be his sainted, slain mother, to whose memory, along with that of his late father, Bruce swore to uphold justice and thwart evil. Bruce and Batman might have had romances with girls like debutante Julie Madison or reporter Vicki Vale, but showed neither any true affection. The one female who generated the most heat with Batman was the seductive, whip-wielding jewel thief Catwoman. Of course, since she was on the wrong side of the law, any chance of a romance with Batman was immediately crushed. (...) Batman’s sexy foe Catwoman was deemed too racy for the new world of the Comics Code. She was gone by 1954.”

“In this sense (although the 2004 Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice would, despite Oslo and subsequent agreements, reaffirm Israel's status as occupying power with all the responsibilities for the occupied population that are specified in the key documents of international humanitarian law), the Oslo agreements were designed in part to relieve Israel of many of the burdens of occupation-- as well as the need to police a restive population on a daily basis.”

“Hva gjorde at vi hadde reist til «ånds»-byen Oslo? Ingen av oss kom fra Oslo, alle flyttet til Oslo i den tro at oppholdet skulle være midlertidig, men så var det blitt noe permanent, vi var blitt noe permanent, noe permanent middelmådig i den permanent middelmådige drittbyen Oslo. Ingen er blitt til noe, og ingen av oss har egentlig noen formening om hva dette noe er. Men når jeg slår fast at ingen av oss er blitt til noe i Oslo, ikke noe som helst, så innebærer påstanden at de selv ... ikke vet at de ikke er blitt til noe, for alle oppfører seg stikk motsatt, som om de er blitt til noe, som om de har oppnådd noe stort, og følgelig blitt til noe i Oslo, som igjen betyr at drømmene de hadde om Oslo og livene deres, de store livene og det store lille Oslo, de store livene i det lille Oslo, har gått i oppfyllelse. Eller det tror de i hvert fall - foruten når de har søvnløse morgener, eller kvelder hvor rusen avtar for tidlig - at de er blitt noe stort, selv om de kun er blitt til påtrengende gjennomsnittlige kopier av mennesker som har vært gjennomsnittlige før dem. Men fordi de har fått seg et navn, fått seg en leilighet, et par-tre mer eller mindre viktige middelmådige verv i den permanent middelmådige byen, innbiller de seg altså å være store, men alle er de, akkurat som meg, middelmådige, om ikke også mindre, betydningløse ...”
