“Teenagers all think their life is a movie. If you break up with someone or you have a fight, you walk around with movie scores playing in your head.

“Comics have a problem, and that is continuity - the obsession with placing the characters in an existing world, where every event is marked in canon.

“Though the man-apes often fought and wrestled one another, their disputes very seldom resulted in serious injuries. Having no claws or fighting canine teeth, and being well protected by hair, they could not inflict much harm on one another. In any event, they had little surplus energy for such unproductive behavior; snarling and threatening was a much more efficient way of asserting their points of view.” MenWayWellsLittlesFightingEnergyViewsEventsSeriousHairBehaviorHarmPoint Of ViewTeethInjuryEfficientProtectedThreateningDisputesApesClawsSurplusCanineUnproductiveSnarling Book:2001: A Space Odyssey Source: 2001: A Space Odyssey

“What happened after 9/11 - and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not - was deeply shameful. The atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons....The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.” PeopleThinkingKnowsShouldHeartHas BeensWarReasonWantedUsedFightingNationsMemoriesIssuesHappenedEventsHeroHorrorShould HaveShameOccasionsFakeJustifyCashShould Have BeenShamefulAtrocitiesUnifyingWrong ReasonsWedgesRudy Author:Paul Krugman
“Why all this insistence on the senses? Because in order to convince your reader that he is THERE, you must assault each of his senses, in turn, with color, sound, taste, and texture. If your reader feels the sun on his flesh, the wind fluttering his shirt sleeves, half your fight is won. The most improbable tales can be made believable, if your reader, through his senses, feels certain that he stands at the middle of events. He cannot refuse, then, to participate. The logic of events always gives way to the logic of the senses.” IfsWayGivingFeelsMadeCertainOrderTurnsFightingSoundHalfSunMiddleEventsColorWindReaderTasteLogicRefuseFleshSensesTalesShirtsConvinceAssaultTextureSleevesImprobableBelievableInsistenceFluttering Author:Ray Bradbury
