Devious Quote by Jack Kirby

“I'll never speak to another person without telling the truth. I've been a cruel man in my time, I've been a devious man in my time, like everybody else. I've told lies in my time. But I've seen enough suffering to experiment with the truth.” quote by Jack Kirby — Download Open image
