You’ve also got the power of the press, Clark. It’s also more powerful than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet, and able to change the course of mighty rivers. If it wasn’t—if it couldn’t help people—I wouldn’t be here. And neither would you. — Lois Lane, SUPERMAN: THE WEDDING ALBUM

Growing up in Smallville, I believed that journalism was an ideal, as worthy and important as being a cop, a fireman—a teacher or a doctor. I was taught to believe you could use words to change the course of rivers—that even the darkest secrets would fall under the harsh light of sun. — Clark Kent, SUPERMAN v3 #13
