You live on in what you create
“If you look at my characters, you will find me. No matter what kind of character you create or assume, a little of yourself must remain there.” — Jack Kirby
This is a quote that closed out Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025). It resonated with me, for those of us who write (books or blogs, doesn't matter), or create in some way, doesn't a part of us live on in our creations?
Because if we don't bring our full selves into our art, then what do we create for?
