Famous quotes containing the word monsters:

    “But the Krell forgot one thing.... Monsters, John, monsters from the id.”
    —Cyril Hume, and Fred McLeod Wilcox. Lt. “Doc” Ostrow (Warren Stevens)

    “We’ve forgotten what it’s like not to be able to reach the light switch. We’ve forgotten a lot of the monsters that seemed to live in our room at night. Nevertheless, those memories are still there, somewhere inside us, and can sometimes be brought to the surface by events, sights, sounds, or smells. Children, though, can never have grown-up feelings until they’ve been allowed to do the growing.”
    —Fred Rogers (20th century)

    “his address
    to the grey monsters of the world,”
    —Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
