Sci-Fi Wisdom of the Week

“Tasteless fare. Funerals, bad marriages, lost loves, lonely beds. That is our diet. We suck that misery and find it sweet. We search for more always. We can smell young boys ulcerating to be men a thousand miles off. And hear a middle-aged fool like yourself groaning with midnight despairs from halfway around the world.”

-Mr. Dark (Jonathan Pryce) in Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)
