"Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters..."

"I consider it useless and tedious to represent what exists, because nothing that exists satisfies me. Nature is ugly, and I prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively trivial." -- Charles Baudelaire

"All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity." -- Friedrich Nietzsche

"Evil is a moral entity and not a created one, an eternal and not a perishable entity: it existed before the world; it constituted the monstrous, the execrable being who was also to fashion such a hideous world. It will hence exist after the creatures which people this world." -- Marquis De Sade
