"She was tired of being told how it was by this generation, whoâ€™d botched things so badly. Theyâ€™d sold their children a pack of lies: God and country. Love your parents. All is fair. And then theyâ€™d sent those boys, her brother, off to fight a great monster of a war that maimed and killed and destroyed whatever was inside them. Still they lied, expecting her to mouth the words and play along. Well, she wouldnâ€™t. She knew now that the world was a long way from fair. She knew the monsters were real."

I'll take my Batman gritty, thank you, and I will acknowledge that such a portrayal means that my 11-year-old has to wait before he sees The Dark Knight. But if Hollywood turns out a Superman movie that I can't take him to? They've done something wrong.”
“Even the most careful and expensive marketing plans cannot sell people a book they don't want to read.”
