Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
“A Million Dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? A Billion Dollars.”
"Good-bye. Good luck. Good riddance."

It's recent, but the end of Oppenheimer works.
"But, you know, sir, since nobody knows what they said to each other that day, is it possible they didn’t talk about you at all? Is it possible they spoke about something more important."
And then of course there's the final line.
It gets to how small-minded some people can be in the face of what is truly important.

I'm pretty sure I've used this before on here.
I always liked this line from Harvey.
"In this world, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
"The big W."

If I am super, how can I wait?
Solving the following riddle will reveal the awful secret behind the universe, assuming you do not go utterly mad in the attempt.
Say you have an ax - just a cheap one from Home Depot.
On one bitter winter day, you use said ax to behead a man. Don't worry, the man's already dead. Maybe you should worry, 'cause you're the one who shot him. He'd been a big twitchy guy with veined skin stretched over swollen biceps, tattoo of a swastika on his tongue. And you're chopping off his head because even with eight bullets in him, you're pretty sure he's about to spring back to his feet and eat the look of terror right off your face.
You now have a broken axe. So, you now go to the hardware store explaining away the dark reddish stains on the handle as barbecue sauce.
The repaired Axe sits undisturbed in your house until the next spring when one rainy morning ... so you grab your trust axe and chop him into several pieces. From the last blow however ... of course the chipped head means yet another trip to the hardware store.
As soon as you get home with your newly headed axe though you meet the reanimated body of the guy you beheaded last year only he's got a new head stitched on with what looks like plastic weed trimmer line and wears that unique expression of you're the man who killed me last winter resentment that one so rarely encounters in everyday life. So you brandish your axe.
"That's the axe that slayed me."
Is he right?
