"Life is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel. Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy." -F. Scott Fitzgerald
"If you can do the things I can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen? They happen because of you." -Peter Parker 'Captain America: Civil War'
"I never asked for any of this. I never asked to be Spider-Man; never asked for these powers! Never knew it'd mean a bashed-up hand, a hard, 9 PM, curfew, no job, and friends who all think I'm scum. It was all just a twist of fate, bad luck, a random bug-bite. Easiest decision I ever made.
"Except... except I saved him. Spider-Man's no magic wand, but thanks to the web-head, Curt's cured, and Billy gets his father back. So what if nobody threw a parade? Spidey stays because Spidey's needed." -Peter Parker, 'Spectacular Spider-Man'
