I had very high respect for the Pratt Institute, but I thought that I had done my best, and that was not their version of the best.

Our dreams make us large.

You had to grow up sometime. The fellows who grew early, they were in jeopardy. They became the cops and the crooks, and the crooks became the gangsters. The crooks became the Al Capones.

Of course, mothers were very conventional, everything was very conventional. You had to have approval.

Aw, where we come from the Anti-Life Equation is one of many others--almost as awesome!! But they merely exist!!

Life at best is bittersweet.

Superman is going to live forever. They'll be reading Superman in the next century when you and I are gone. I felt, in that respect, I was doing the same thing. I wanted to be known. I wasn't going to sell a comic that was going to die quickly.
