It seems to me a core element of belief in God that a choice is a choice and it eliminates all other choices. - Dave Sim

In any creative field--any creative field--you must first understand that you have no value whatsoever. Your work has no value whatsoever. You are completely worthless. Whatever potential you have is just that--potential--and when you are discussing self-publishing a comic book, you have about the same chance of success as 10 thousand others. (p. 21)

Reality is reality. It is the way things are, not the way you want them to be in your head.

Pointing out that there's a turd lying on the carpet is not the same as shitting on the carpet.(p. 75)
