The Supervillain's Guide to Being a Fat Kid Quotes

“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.”

“Do you know why he became so angry when you started asking him questions? It was not because you were defying him or challenging him.

“At some point, Maxwell, you have to decide to stop waiting, for adults or anyone else your age. As you say, perhaps some rules are good, and they are there for a reason. I am not saying you should not follow those rules. I am saying you have to stop waiting for other people to tell you what to do. You have to stop waiting for other people to tell you how and who to be. You have to stop waiting for other people to give you permission to live your life.”
