Quote by Brian K. Vaughan

“No, I realize Hektor was just another rando bit player on whatever bullshit 'hero's journey' you think you've been on. But when this is over, you'll finally realize that you're not even the star of your own story. You're a goddam black hole.”

“With Christ, our sins and weaknesses are the very resumé items that qualify us to approach him. Nothing but coming to him is required--first at conversion and a thousand times thereafter until we are with him upon death. Perhaps it isn't sins so much as sufferings that cause some of us to question the perseverance of the heart of Christ. As pain piles up, as numbness takes over, as the months go by, at some point the conclusion seems obvious: we have been cast out. Surely this is not what life would feel like for one who has been buried in the heart of a gentle and lowly Savior? But Jesus does not say that those with pain-free lives are never cast out. He says those who come to him are never cast out. It is not what life brings to us but to whom we belong that determine Christ's heart of love for us. The only thing required to enjoy such love is to come to him. To ask him to take us in. He does not say, "Whoever comes to me with sufficient contrition," or "Whoever comes to me feeling bad enough for their sin," or "Whoever comes to me with redoubled efforts." He says, "Whoever comes to me I will never cast out.:”

“She felt livid. They'd all lost so many powers. It was ridiculous to have to communicate by flapping bits of your skin, and as for the tongue... Yuerkkk ... As far as she knew, in the whole life of the universe, no Auditor had ever experienced the sensation of yuerkkk. This wretched body was full of opportunities for yuerkkk. She could leave it at any time and yet, and yet... part of her didn't want to. There was this horrible desire, second by second, to hang on. And she felt hungry. And that also made no sense. The stomach was a bag for digesting food. It wasn't supposed to issue commands. The Auditors could survive quite well by exchanging molecules with their surroundings and making use of any local source of energy. That was a fact. Try telling that to the stomach. She could feel it. It was sitting there, grumbling. She was being harassed by her internal organs. Why the ... why the. . why had they copied internal organs? Yuerkkk. It was all too much. She wanted to... she wanted to... express herself by shouting some, some, some terrible words...”

“Katika karne iliyopita, wanaakiolojia waligundua mbegu za pamba na ngano katika baadhi ya makaburi waliyokuwa wakiyafukua kwa ajili ya utafiti wao wa kisayansi. Mbegu hizo, zilizokadiriwa kuwa na umri wa kuanzia miaka 2000 hadi 4000, zilimea na kukua zilipopandwa katika udongo sahihi wenye rutuba. Roho ya maisha ilikuwa bado imo ndani ya mbegu hizo, pamoja na kwamba zilikosa mvua na jua kwa zaidi ya miaka 2000. Huu ni uthibitisho kwamba kama mbegu itapandwa, itamea na kukua kama itapandwa katika udongo sahihi wenye rutuba. Matumizi sahihi, watu ni ardhi na mazingira yetu na kile tunachokifanya baada ya kupanda mbegu ni neno la ukweli ambalo ndani yake kuna kanuni na mafundisho ya Mungu, ndicho kinachoathiri matumizi ya mbegu.”
