"I'm burning 'cross the sky, yeah,
Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit...
I'm travelling at the speed of light...
I'm gonna make a supersonic man out of you!"
-- Queen, "Don't Stop Me Now"
'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justice is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi, Mom!
-- Laurie Anderson, "O Superman"
"I tried it on my German Shepherd. It worked for both of us and now he's my arch enemy, Dr. German Shepherd. I have to save the world from him every month, which is a real bummer."
-- The Dogcatcher, Queens, NY (on "Developing a New Secret Formula" from How to be a Superhero)
You may cry that I'm the villain, and you whine that I am bad,
While I give your life some interest, and a reason to be sad.
You're all unfit to judge me, yet you'll judge me if you can.
And if you think I'm Evil, clearly you don't understand.
-- "Falconsbane" by Michael Longcor
I'm a most superior being, I'm the hero of my mind,
Well equipped to rule and dictate to the cattle of your kind.
Though I'm blamed for all your misery, for each sorrow small and large,
I don't want to be a monster... I just want to be in charge!
-- "Falconsbane" by Michael Longcor
Buttercup: You can't just buy superpowers!
Princess: Oh yeah? Tell that to Batman.
-- from The Powerpuff Girls
Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain.
-- Norman Mailer, The Presidential Papers
There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify -- so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.
-- John Keats
Andrea: Unhappy the land that has no heroes.
Galileo: No, unhappy the land that needs heroes.
-- Bertolt Brecht, Life of Galileo
-- Bob
