“A mother cannot truly respect her child as long as she does not realize what deep shame she causes him with an ironic remark, intended only to cover her own uncertainty. Indeed, she cannot be aware of how deeply humiliated, despised, and devalued her child feels, if she herself has never consciously suffered these feelings, and if she tries to fend them off with irony.”
Alice Miller, The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self

Mira Grant
“People were so oversensitive to the supposed overfishing of sharks. As if it wasn't the height of hubris to decide that humanity needed to be put into the position of custodian to the height of apex predators. God had made man to fight and defeat his other creations. Why else would he have made his chosen children physically weak, but mentally strong? In the battle between man and shark, the shark should always have won. That it didn't, proved only that man was intended to be victorious and that he should be allowed to kill whatever he could before he, in turn, was killed.”
Mira Grant, Into the Drowning Deep

Craig Russell
“I especially liked it when, at the end, they begged for their lives. When they did that—and they all did that eventually—I would pretend to hesitate and see in their eyes the glimmer of a final, desperate hope. I let them have that for an instant. Then, I took it away. That—that extinguishing of their very last hope—I savored more than anything, even more than the extinguishing of their lives.
You see, it was at that moment they could feel the presence of the Devil and would beg God to come and deliver them from him. And it was in that moment that I made them see—that they finally realized—God had been there all along. It was then they understood: the Devil was just God in his night attire.”
Craig Russell, The Devil Aspect

Craig Russell
“It was a hot, sunny, bright day. People don't realize it, but that is when loneliness is the sharpest, it cuts the deepest - when the sun shines, and everything else is bright and warm.”
Craig Russell, The Devil Aspect

Sayaka Murata
“This is exactly what I wanted to see today. Everyone thinks the food other people eat is disgusting, and that's the way it should be... How about a toast? To all our uniquely disgusting foods!”
Sayaka Murata, Life Ceremony
