Quotes by Eric Powell (?)

“A man don't need to act tough if he is. Men that put on a show are spineless more often than not.”
― Eric Powell, The Goon, Volume 10: Death's Greedy Comeuppance

“When you're a young man like yourself, life is full of wonders. Everything new. Everything an adventure. But as the years roll on, things become ordinary. Colors lose their vibrance. Stars lose their glitter. You become less in awe of the world. It loses its magic.

I don't see this as a painful thing. I think it's a mercy. I believe it's all just so it makes it easier to let the whole thing go when it's our time to pass on. But when you've lived as long as I have, the weight of the years and the tarnished luster of the world can break you down. And it's hard to be alive and be so broken.”
― Eric Powell
