We were each of us trying; trying to undo our own history while wishing for Superman.

We can't rightly ever talk about the future, if you think about it. We can only talk about what we imagine or wish for. It's not the same thing.

Star light, Star bright
I wish upon the stars tonight…

I whispered your name to a star last night
Loudly, and so bold
I closed my eyes, and saw your face
I spoke those words untold

I wish I may, I wish I might

It shouted from my soul
Have this wish, I wish tonight
The wish that won’t let go

I wish I had a kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula and Superman away

I wish people used wishes to modify themselves instead of others. Wish to be low maintenance. Wish to be autonomous, even.

It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are still alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger for them.
