Monsters - Quotes

Calling someone a monster does not make him more guilty; it makes him less so by classing him with beasts and devils. - Mary McCarthy

Every monster was a man first. - Edward Albee

In a world of monsters, you had to be a ghost to survive. - Rob Thurman

Some people are monsters, they're evil through and through; you tell yourself that so you can make sense of the world. It's like believing in a religion, a god and a devil, all good on one side, all bad on the other. But that's not how it is. Instead, you've got people who are capable of doing things that you can't even bear to think about; for bloody certain you can't ever forgive them. But they can still feel guilt and shame, they can still fall in love, try and do the right thing, appreciate what the right thing is – and then they cheerfully go and do the next unbelievably bad thing, and it all goes round again. - K. J. Parker

The monsters of the mind are far worse than those that actually exist. Fear, doubt, and hate have hamstrung more people than beasts ever have. - Christopher Paolini

There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them. - Andre Gide

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. - Friedrich Nietzsche
