"Pet peeve time: for the contingent out there who sneer at heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman and Captain America, those icons who still, at their core, represent selfless sacrifice for the greater good, and who justify their contempt by saying, oh, it’s so unrealistic, no one would ever be so noble... grow up. Seriously. Cynicism is not maturity, do not mistake the one for the other. If you truly cannot accept a story where someone does the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, that says far more about who you are than these characters."
-Greg Rucka

If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?

If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?

Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.

No matter how cynical you get, it is impossible to keep up.

The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.

Truth is, I've always been selling out. The difference is that in the past, I looked like I had integrity because there were no buyers.

We have reason to believe that man first walked upright to free his hands for masturbation.

When we talk to God, we're praying. When God talks to us, we're schizophrenic.
