"I realized the only thing I owed..." - Quote by Len Wein

“A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.”

“I'm a neurotic New York Jew by birth. Creating characters is second nature to me.”

“Were there stories I wrote along the way that were terrible clinkers? God, yes. But they were all a product of their time, and I did the best I could.”

“In literature it is only the wild that attracts us.”

“The nearest way to glory a shortcut, as it were is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be.”

“If there were already a path, it would have to be someone else's; the whole point is to find your own way.”

“Appear as you are, or be as you appear.”

“If, while hurrying ostensibly to the temple of truth, we hand the reins over to our personal interests which look aside at very different guiding stars, for instance at the tastes and foibles of our contemporaries, at the established religion, but in particular at the hints and suggestions of those at the head of affairs, then how shall we ever reach the high, precipitous, bare rock whereon stands the temple of truth?”

“There is nothing so delightful as the hearing, or the speaking of truth. For this reason, there is no conversation so agreeable as that of the man of integrity, who hears without any intention to betray, and speaks without any intention to deceive.”
