What strikes us as the most remarkable thing in this matter is the horrible ferocity of these monsters.

The Richmond Enquirer (30 August 1831)Nat Turner
The thing about good pulp is that you trust the reader and you know that the mind is a machine to process metaphors so of course all those connections will be there. But you've also granted the fantastic its own dynamic and allowed that awe. There's no contradiction. So I want to have monsters as a metaphor but I also want monsters because monsters are cool. There's no contradiction.
China Mieville
Monsters cannot be announced. One cannot say: 'here are our monsters', without immediately turning the monsters into pets.
Jacques Derrida
If it was a horrible thing I was known for, like some horrible pop song, it would annoy me, but it doesn't. I'm proud of it.
Mike Oldfield
The secret of happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible, horrible, horrible.
Bertrand Russell
Corporations! It's like there are these gigantic monsters living among us, and we don't mind that they're monsters because when we look at them they smile and hand us cheeseburgers. That's nuts.
