God: But it is my creation...!

The Saint of Killers: It's outgrown you.”
Garth Ennis, Preacher, Vol. 9: Alamo

“I thought you an' I'd already settled the roles in the fucker/fuckee relationship! I guess I thought wrong!”
Garth Ennis, Preacher, Vol. 1: Gone to Texas

“I'm the one who steps from the shadows, all trenchcoat and cigarette and arrogance, ready to deal with the madness. Oh, I've got it all sewn up. I can save you. If it takes the last drop of your blood, I'll drive your demons away. I'll kick them in the bollocks and spit on them when they're down and then I'll be gone back into darkness, leaving only a nod and a wink and a wisecrack. I walk my path alone... who would walk with me?”
Garth Ennis, Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits
