“It will be a better world without gods. No more fear of eternal damnation or lust for eternal reward. No more hatred between believers of rival faiths.

― Jason Aaron, Thor (2018-2019) #8

I guess he could have been a John Stockton type, but the pick-and-roll wouldn’t have worked cuz none of the other turtles were tall either; they would have needed that giant robot body with Krang in his stomach to play power forward, and by that point I think there would have been just too much animosity for them to gel as a team. This book sucks.”

“You don’t have to have a reason to be tired. You don’t have to earn rest or comfort. You’re allowed to just be.”
