Disgust at the human preoccupation with gold can be found in Pliny’s Natural History: “We probe her [Mother Earth’s] entrails, digging into veins of gold and silver . . . we drag out her entrails . . . to be worn upon a finger.”

“People who love horror films are people with boring lives... when a really scary movie is over, you're reassured to see that you're still alive and the world still exists as it did before.
