“I no longer care about the mistakes of yesterday. I care about coping with tomorrow … together.”

Mark Waid (1962) American comics writer

Superman
Kingdom Come (1996)
Context: I no longer care about the mistakes of yesterday. I care about coping with tomorrow … together.
The problems we face still exist. We're not going to solve them for you... we're going to solve them with you … not by ruling above you … but by living among you. We will no longer impose our power on humanity. We will earn your trust … using the wisdom left as his legacy. I asked him to choose between humans and superhumans. But he alone knew that was a false division … and made the only choice that ever truly matters … he chose life … in the hope that your world and our world could be one world once again.

“They say state-of-the-art special effects can create the illusion of anything on the screen, and now we have proof: It's possible for the Jim Henson folks and Industrial Light and Magic to put their heads together and come up with the most repulsive single creature in the history of special effects, and I am not forgetting the Chucky doll or the desert intestine from Star wars.”

Roger Ebert (1942–2013) American film critic, author, journalist, and TV presenter

“It is a magic book. Words mean things. When you put them together they speak.”

Equinox (1973)
Context: It is a magic book. Words mean things. When you put them together they speak. Yes, sometimes they flatten out and nothing they say is real, and that is one kind of magic. But sometimes a vision will rip up from them and shriek and clank wings clear as the sweat smudge on the paper under your thumb. And that is another kind. (p. 163)
