Stan Lee

“With great power there must also come great responsibility.”

“Excelsior!”

“I guess one person can make a difference.”

“That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero.”

“I don't really see a need to retire as long as I am having fun.”

“Life is never completely without its challenges.”

“The only time I'm not thinking about stories is when I'm thinking about stories.”

“If you are interested in what you do, that keeps you going.”

“No one has a perfect life. Everybody has something that he wishes was not the way it is.”

“Nuff said.”

“We all wish we had superpowers. We all wish we could do more than we can do.”

“Another definition of a hero is someone who is concerned about other people’s well-being, and will go out of his or her way to help them – even if there is no chance of a reward.”

“I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in people's lives.”

“Just because you have superpowers, that doesn't mean your love life would be perfect. I don't think superpowers automatically means there won't be any personality problems, family problems or even money problems.”

“To me, writing is fun. It doesn't matter what you're writing, as long as you can tell a story.”

“The more you read, the better you're going to become as a storyteller.”

“I don't have inspiration. I only have ideas. Ideas and deadlines.”

“Marvel is a cornucopia of fantasy, a wild idea, a swashbuckling attitude, an escape from the mundane and the drab.”

“Comic books to me are fairy tales for grown-ups.”

“I see myself in everything I write. All the good guys are me.”
