Great Old Ones Quotes

“When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live.”

“They worshipped, so they said, the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky. Those Old Ones were gone now, inside the earth and under the sea; but their dead bodies had told their secrets in dreams to the first men, who formed a cult which had never died. This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu and Other Dark Tales

― Mike Mignola, Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea
