"Nazis? Do I look like a failed artist with a neurotic grudge against his father and the world? I am a force of nature, boy..... I am Magneto“The key isn't winning -- or losing, it's making the attempt. I may never be what I ought to be, want to be -- but how will I know unless I try?...........Sure, it's scary, but what's the alternative? Stagnation - A safer, more terrible form of death. Not of the body, but of the spirit..........An animal knows what it is, and accepts it. A man may know what he is -- but he questions.... He dreams. He strives. Changes. Grows.”!"----Magneto, 'Uncanny X-men' #149, Chris Claremont, writer
