Somehow, adults only remember how much they did not know when they were children. They forget all the things they did know, and they forgot how early they knew them."-Matt Wallace, The Supervillain's Guide to Being a Fat Kid

"You do not need violence to solve your problems. Be assured that your enemies are far, far weaker than you believe yourself to be. Were they not so weak and unsure, they would not need to inflict on you in order to feel better about themselves. They also suffer from a tragic lack of imagination. This can and will be their downfall."-Matt Wallace, The Supervillain's Guide to Being a Fat Kid
