The bomb was necessary to awaken England from her dreams.

Human beings are compelled to live within a lie, but they can be compelled to do so only because they are in fact capable of living in this way.

What I'm interested in exploring with Clark Kent is when you have the power to do something that goes beyond what you think is the right thing to do and the difficulty of that. Meaning, to be Superman also means to withhold a lot of power. He could reshape the world however he thinks it should be. But Superman doesn't, historically, do those things. He allows a certain level of self-governing and a certain level of independence, I think out of an admiration for humanity. Because he's inspired by the best in us and he challenges us to inspire each other to be the best that we can be.

What then remains of a human being who has lost sight, sound, and sense of proportion? Only a cripple in a cave.
