“I learned a lot from the stories my uncle, aunts, and grandparents told me: that no one is perfect but most people are good; that people can't be judged only by their worst or weakest moments; that harsh judgements make hypocrites of us all; that a lot of life is just showing up and hanging on; that laughter is often the best, and sometimes only response to pain.” PeopleLifeSometimesMomentsStoriesPainLife IsPerfectWorstLaughterResponseJudgementJudgedHarshUnclesGrandparentAuntHypocriteShowing UpHanging On Author:William J.

“One can't write a weird story of real power without perfect psychological detachment from the human scene, and a magic prism of imagination which suffuses them and style alike with that grotesquerie and disquieting distortion characteristic of morbid vision. Only a cynic can create horror - for behind every masterpiece of the sort must reside a driving daemonic force that despises the human race and its illusions, and longs to pull them to pieces and mock them.” WritingHumansRealStoriesForceImaginationPerfectRaceBehindsVisionPiecesMagicStyleHorrorSceneIllusionDrivingPsychologicalHuman RaceCharacteristicsDespiseMasterpieceDetachmentDistortionMockMorbidCynicReal PowerPrisms Author:H.
