◆ Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.

- Edgar Allan Poe100

◆ I do not love men: I love what devours them.

- André Gide99

◆ I think that God that we have created and allowed to shape our culture through, essentially Christian theology is a pretty villainous creature. I think that one of the things that male patriarchal figure has done is, allowed under it's, his church, his wing, all kinds of corruptions and villainies to grow and fester. In the name of that God terrible wars have been waged, in the name of that God terrible sexism has been allowed to spread. There are children being born all across this world that don't have enough food to eat because that God, at least his church, tells the mothers and fathers that they must procreate at all costs, and to prevent procreation with a condom is in contravention with his laws. Now, I don't believe that God exists. I think that God is creation of men, by men, and for men. What has happened over the many centuries now, the better part of two thousand in fact, is that that God has been slowly and steadily accruing power. His church has been accruing power, and the men who run that church, and they are all men, are not about to give it up. If they give it up, they give up luxury, they give up comfort.

- Clive Barker99

◆ No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

- Shirley Jackson99

◆ Most of the laugh tracks on television were recorded in the early 1950's. These days, most of the people you hear laughing are dead.

- Chuck Palahniuk99

◆ Vampires, real vampires, didn't nibble on the necks of nubile young virgins. They tore people to pieces and sucked the blood out of the chunks.

- David Wellington99

◆ Swear to me swear to me that if it isn't dead you'll all come back.

- Stephen King99

◆ I'll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. It's the silence that scares me. It's the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.

- Mark Lawrence99

◆ Demons are like obedient dogs; they come when they are called.

- Remy de Gourmont99

◆ I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men.

- H.P. Lovecraft99

◆ I think perhaps all of us go a little crazy at times.

- Robert Bloch99

◆ There are people in the world, who are just wrong, and then there are the masses of population that are right, or at the very least they lie in the veil of between. I on the other hand, do not belong to any group. I don't exist. It's not that I don't have substance; I have a body like everyone else. I can feel the fire when it burns against my skin, the rain when it caresses my face and the breeze as it fingers my hair. I have all the senses that other people do. I am just empty, inside.

- J.D. Stroube99

◆ But I know just what it feels like to have a voice in the back of my head, like a face that I hold inside, face that awakes when I close my eyes, face that watches everytime I lie, face that laughs everytime I fall. (It watches EVERYTHING) ... But the face inside is hearing me, right beneath my skin.

- Linkin Park99

◆ Even with the utterly lost, to whom life and death are equally jests, there are matters of which no jest can be made.

- Edgar Allan Poe99

◆ Eddie discovered one of his childhood's great truths. Grownups are the real monsters, he thought.

- Stephen King99
