Quotes by Michael C. Bailey (?)

“The singer was so heavily auto-tuned she sounded like a Cylon. From the original Battlestar Galactica, I mean, not one of the sexy clone types from the reboot. After”
― Michael C. Bailey, Team-Ups

“And I’m sorry I’m being so pushy, but it kills me to see anyone hurting you. I want you to have the strength to walk away if you need to, for your own sake.” “I get that, but you know me, I’m not a big fan of walking away from anything.”
― Michael C. Bailey, Action Figures - Issue Nine: Hell Hath No Fury

“Now that the big Sword of Damocles is no longer dangling over her head, she can focus entirely on the smaller sword (the Dagger of Damocles?).”
