    “Yes, that’s what I needed. Living flesh from humans for my experiments. What difference did it make if a few people had to die? Their flesh taught me how to manufacture arms, legs, faces that are human. I’ll make a crippled world whole again.”
    —Robert Tusker, and Michael Curtiz. Wells (Preston Foster)

    “Night is a curious child, wandering
    Between earth and sky, creeping
    In windows and doors, daubing
    The entire neighborhood
    With purple paint.”
    —Frank Marshall Davis (b. 1905)
