“At what point does a man turn into a monster? I don’t believe that it’s when he does horrible things, but when he accepts that he’s able to do them, and that he does them well.” MenBelieveWellsDoeAbleTurnsAcceptingDon't BelieveMonstersHorribleHorrible Things Author:John Greenleaf Whittier
“What a position of transcendent horror must that be, where the perpetrator of a great crime, till then a stranger to positive guilt, finds himself suddenly cut off, and forever, from all human sympathy, isolated from hope, the tenant of a solitary cell, and with a wide, impassable gulf yawning between him and that great brotherhood of which he has ceased to be a part--no longer regarded as a man, but as a monster in the shape of one, from whom Mercy herself turns away, and for whom Pity even has no tears!” MenHumansTurnsForeverCuttingCrimePositionTearsHorrorShapesMercyGuiltStrangerWideMonstersPityCellsBrotherhoodIsolatedSolitaryTranscendentPerpetratorsTenantsYawning Author:Christian Nestell Bovee
“A true warrior does not fight because he wishes to but because he has to. A man who yearns for war, a man who enjoys his killing, he is a brute and a monster. No matter how much glory he wins on the battlefield, that cannot erase the fact that he is no better than a rabid wolf who will turn on his friends and family as soon as his foes.” MenDoeWarMatterFactsTurnsFightingWinningWishEnjoyGloryKillingMonstersWarriorFamily And FriendsFoeTurn-onBrutesEraseBattlefieldsTrue Warrior Book:The Inheritance Cycle Complete Collection: Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inheritance Source: The Inheritance Cycle Complete Collection: Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inheritance
“When the Hymalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride, He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside.

“The zombie threat is made worse by the fact that their victims then turn into the creature that attacked them. This too is similar to other monsters (werewolves and vampires) and also similar to the sub-genre of infection/plague films. In the case of zombies, however, this may carry a greater sense of dread and revulsion: vampires and werewolves can be seen as desirable, potent, intelligent, virile creatures whom one might like -- in some way at least -- to become; a mindless ghoul condemned to wander aimlessly across an empty, ruined earth seems much less attractive.” WayMayMadeFactsSeemsMightEarthFilmTurnsCasesGreaterCreaturesEmptyIntelligentVictimThreatMonstersWanderVampireGenreAttractiveDreadRuinedDesirableZombiePlagueWerewolfInfectionMindlessGhoulsRevulsion Author:Kim Paffenroth
