Since childhood I’ve been faithful to monsters. I’ve been saved and absolved by them because monsters are the patron saints of our blissful imperfections.

Once we start calling people monsters, we start sacrificing our sense of curiosity, our obligation to ask how they became that way, and why they did what they did: life, and certainly fiction writing, is about being endlessly fascinated by the human condition–naming someone a monster is lazy; it allows you to stop thinking and questioning.

I would describe Guillermo del Toro as compassionate because he sees the good in everyone even his monsters. (x)

Yes, I’m on (another) Crimson Peak posting spree, but I wanted to specifically point out what Tom Hiddleston says: “beauty in places that many of us would fear to look.”  That sounds VERY familiar to me, as my definition of goth/gothic is looking for “beauty and wonder in dark or unsettling places”.

I AM THE TARGET MARKET FOR THIS MOVIE, YES I AM.
