“He that studieth revenge keepeth his own wounds green which otherwise would heal and do well.” -John Milton
“When I was a kid, monsters made me feel that I could fit somewhere. Even if it was an imaginary place where the grotesque and the abnormal were celebrated and accepted.” -Guillermo del Toro
“I will not let you go into the unknown alone.” -Bram Stoker
“To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. Horror defies our boundaries and illuminates our souls.” -Shirley Jackson
We must learn to forgive others, for the sake of our own good and peace. Guillermo del Toro represents a lot of us, expressing how monsters made him feel safe and not in danger because he could relate to them. As a true friend or partner, we should always have each other’s backs and not let each other go into the dark alone. In order to know ourselves completely, we mist know everything about ourselves, including the scary things like our fears.
