In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“We inherit plots.... There are only two or three in the world, five or six at most. We ride them like treadmills.”
