MEET MARTY

"Everyone is part of history. Most just don't realize it yet."
"The difference between wisdom and regret is usually about 20 years."
"Immortality doesn't make you wise. It just gives you more opera-tunities to be wrong."
"History is mostly people making poor decisions with great confidence."
"Technically, I started three wars. In my defense, I was bored."
"I’ve had a very long time to perfect the art of minding everyone else’s business."
"I invented coffee. You're welcome."
"Immortal. Unpredictable. Occasionally helpful."
"I don't meddle. I provide opera-tunities for chaos."
"I know exactly what I'm doing. That's what scares everyone."
"People call me mysterious. That's because I rarely ever answer the question I was asked."
"Thanks to me, the universe has a sense of humor."
"I remember the good old days. They weren't."
"I was there. It made less sense at the time."
