"In search of Truth the hopeful zealot goes,But all the sadder tums, the more he knows!"
"A serious adult story must be true to something in life. Since marvel tales cannot be true to the events of life, they must shift their emphasis towards something to which they can be true; namely, certain wistful or restless moods of the human spirit, wherein it seeks to weave gossamer ladders of escape from the galling tyranny of time, space, and natural law."
"Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability."
"The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind."
"Almost nobody dances sober, unless they happen to be insane."
