“Make no mistake, everywhere you go, not just in Marvel Comics,there's parallel universes...Here? On the surface streets: traffic, couples in love, falafel-to-go, tourists in jogging suits licking stamps for postcards... And over thewall behind closed doors: other things-people strapped to chairs, sleep deprivation,the smell of piss...other things happening for "reasons of nationalsecurity”

“Do you have to kill people every time you take a piss?” Eve locked the men’s room door behind her.God, he loved looking at her. Even with her hair tucked in a baseball hat she was breathtaking.“No, they killed themselves after I unleashed my colossal penis. It happens everywhere I go.”

“Things don't just happen, they have reasons. And the reasons have reasons. And the reasons for the reasons have reasons. And then the things that happen make other things happen, so they become reasons themselves. Nothing moves forward in a straight line, nothing is straightforward.”

“Just because things don't work out, it doesn't mean there aren't other people you can't love. Love is too big a thing for you to go without it in life.”

“People say things like "it wasn't supposed to go this way" and "this isn't what I wanted." They're just making noise. There's no such thing as "supposed to," and what you want doesn't matter. All that matters is what happened.”

“You have to accept that sometimes that's how things happen in this world. People's opinions, their feelings, they go one way, then the other. It just so happens you grew up at a certain point in this process.”
