"I have lived just long enough to know that people only change if they want to. And I can’t wave my magic wand and make you less of a hot mess.

But seeing it and really doing something about it…two different things."

"I’ve always loved the spotlight. My favorite times growing up where dressing up in something that showed myself off and doing something that brought me applause. I loved the attention and I still do in a way. But then I met him. Here’s a guy who does the most amazing things and he wears a mask to hide his identity. He’s brought down crime lords, he’s taken on aliens from other worlds, he even has that famous cartoon song everyone knows by heart. And yet nobody knows it’s Peter Parker behind the mask. It was something that was so far beyond my understanding or comprehension. And yet, it’s endeared me to him so deeply. He’s shown me that I don’t need that spotlight all the time. And he created web-shooters when he was in high school. How cool is that?"

―Mary Jane Watson about Peter Parker

"You’re the tensest person I’ve ever met Pete. I think that’s what makes you so loveable."

―Mary Jane Watson to Peter Parker

"We all like to talk about it like we were so innocent back then. Just a bunch of goofy teenagers. But the truth is, we weren’t. Peter’d lived through the nightmare of his uncle’s murder — not to mention the responsibilities of being Spider-Man — I’d been dealing with a family that gave new meaning to the word “dysfunctional”, and Harry… Harry’d been living with a monster. There was always a shadow around Norman. A kind of blackness that sucked everything in. Long before I ever found out he was the Green Goblin I could tell that he was a man that lived with demons. But for all our problems, we did find a kind of innocence together: me, Peter, Harry, Flash — and Gwen. She was probably the most well-adjusted of all of us. She had such poise… such optimism and joy. I never told her, but I envied her. She was everything I wanted to be. Gwen was our light. Our proof that, even with all its struggles, the world could be a bright and shining place. And Norman destroyed her, too."

―Mary Jane Watson

Spoken about Mary Jane Watson

"I can bench press a car. I can climb up the side of a wall. Fight twenty guys to a standstill. Swing across chasms thirty stories deep. Feel a bullet coming my way and move fast enough to get clear. But something in her makes me gentle. Makes me shy. Makes me strong. Makes me happy to be alive. And maybe that's it. Maybe that's what it really comes down to. She makes me. Makes me whole... She completes me. So here's the thing, God... I know I complain a lot, and I know that you and me, we've got issues, but right now, just for tonight... Thank you for her. Thank you."

―Peter Parker

"People see me swinging around skyscrapers and they think I'm pretty special. But it's not me. It's her. It's always been her."

―Peter Parker

"The great thing about MJ is when you look in her eyes and she’s looking back in yours, everything feels… not quite normal. Because you feel stronger and weaker at the same time. You feel excited and at the same time, terrified. The truth is… you don’t know what you feel except you know what kind of man you want to be. It’s as if you’ve reached the unreachable and you weren’t ready for it."

―Peter Parker
