The only true test of intelligence must be ethical behavior.

"Once, at a meeting in the golden basement of St. James Catholic Church, my friend Sandy shared he believed we’re always moving forward, even, he said, if we use again, we’re still going in the right direction."

"Bring your bones closer and I’ll teach you how to muffle a cry for help by crying louder. How to put out fires, by which I mean stories."

"Every time I saw my youngest brother, I could see a little boy unable to make his way home. I knew the home he was searching for was our mom, an echo we could no longer access. She was in the space between us... We each raged in our own ways at the unfairness of it."

"I need something to hurt me back please and soon holy father I don’t need to be convinced of your plan but surely you knew I asked not for water but thirst"

"Living is an endless stream of chances to fix things, change things, have another go, make another start, see the sun, feel the breeze, hear the call of a cardinal, recover from that blunder, get over that slight, make up for that hurt."

I do not tell her about this world where she is less valuable than her little friends, that one day somebody, maybe someone she knows, will make her feel ashamed for the color of her skin, for who she is. Instead, I wave goodbye. It will be hours before my daughter is home again.

"After my 13th birthday… I was in the kitchen eating leftover cake and my mother came in and saw me, really saw me and it felt so good. She gave me a shot of my father’s Four Roses and told me it would help me sleep. It did help me sleep. It helped me sleep for thirty years"

@PatrickZircher @GailSimone The Trimpe/Severin era was when I started reading Hulk and they remain my all-time favorite team on that character.

@GailSimone What Nic Klein is doing is fantastic. All time? Trimpe/Severin. Time has given it an understated, almost underground vibe. Close to Crumb & Corben. Yet Trimpe/Severin was also like Swan/Anderson. Some of the most classic 'DC style' work to come from Marvel. I love it.

Today’s COMIC BOOK QUESTION OF THE DAY! Who is your all-time favorite HULK artist? I am only talking about their rendition of the HULK himself, they do not need to have drawn the regular comic book. Who drew your favorite version of the Hulk?

"A girl in my front seat huddles, her head shaved for the first time, murmuring I don’t feel pretty... In the cool fluoride blue I watched her remind me. Tell me of the drugs she could buy walking in each direction... I’d like to remember us bedroom dancing to Le Tigre"

I can separate like oil & water the body daddy takes apart with his eyes sometimes is a stringy cut of steak Walmart New York strip I push my voice out when I ask to go to Doctor Vickie instead mommy doesn’t even hear but that’s not me that’s asking you understand I can separate

"We are four girls, we are 18 and 19, we are cropped and long brown hair. Lost virginities. We harbour birthday-gifted champagne and half full vodka bottles... We jet down long stretching, pale grey, roads in an old car that smells like the very opening of the world."
