Playing Superman

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or superman:

“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities—and the privileges—of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasy—a fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)

““All the gods are dead: now we want the superman to live”Mon that great noon, let this be our last will.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
