Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.
- Normal Maclean, "A River Runs Through It"

"I think God appreciates it even more, because He created you in His image. At least that's what I was always taught. And since God is love, and God doesn't make mistakes, then you must be exactly the way He wants you to be. The way He intended you to be. Every person, every plant, every mountain, every grain of sand, every song. We're all His, Emmett, He loves us all."

"At first, it was fun. I liked the stories, and I liked the pictures. It was a great escape from all the shit...uh, sorry, the stuff that was bugging me. And my Mom didn't want me to read them... Because in ways that maybe were not intended, these superheroes were a lot like me. You know, at work they were meek and under appreciated, and when they're around other people, they can't let anybody get too close for fear their true identities would be discovered. I believe the same about us. That's what comics have shown me, that despite everything, we'll survive. And we'll win."
