dream sometimes wonder
Sometimes you wonder, in an interconnected universe, who's dreaming who?
hunters way weakness
Study yourself the way a hunter studied prey. Exploit your own weaknesses to create desired changes within yourself.
madness enough
Enough madness? Enough? And how do you measure madness? - The Joker
treason commit highest
One must commit acts of the highest treason only when dressed in the most resplendent finery.
dream thinking glasses
Sometimes... sometimes I think the Asylum is a head. We're inside a huge head that dreams us all into being. Perhaps it's your head, Batman. Arkham is a looking glass... and we are you.
perception theatre each-day
It's quite possible we may actually be looking at some kind of super-sanity here. A brilliant new modification of human perception, more suited to urban life at the end of the twentieth century...He creates himself each day. He sees himself as the lord of misrule and the world as a theatre of the absurd.
dream children intelligent
Then I reminded myself that all intelligent children suffer bad dreams.
strong work-out territory
I prefer working out of strict continuity, because no normal human being can have a firm grip on the constantly shifting bardo-like territory of a comics universe, where entire histories can be erased by a strong enough super-sneeze.
sense-of-humor kipling reconstructing
Kipling: Where's your sense of humor? Rebis: We're working on reconstructing it...
teenager struggle past
X-Men is not a story about superheroes, but a story about the ongoing revolutionary struggle between good/new and bad/old. The X-Men are every rebel teenager wanting to change the world and make it better. Humanity is every adult, clinging to the past, trying to destroy the future even as he places all his hopes there.
couple real smart
It's always interesting to see what the real enthusiasts think, but they're rarely representative of the tastes of the wider audience, so I tend to write for myself, for an imagined smart 14-year-old, and for a couple of friends who are still big comics fans.
dream children men
All I know is that you won't come back until they're all dead. 'Eternity.' Every last one of them. Every man. Every woman. Every child. Global massacre. I dream about that day. A planet of corpses
consciousness
Consciousness, rather than being something that we have, is something we participate in.
gotham madness sometimes
Sometimes it’s only madness that makes us what we are.
