“You’ve got a job to do. You’ve gotta sing on Smith.... You’ve gotta finish the job for Tolly! Or he died for nothing!”
—Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
“Surely, of all creatures we eat, we are most brutal to snails. Helix optera is dug out of the earth where he has been peacefully enjoying his summer sleep, cracked like an egg, and eaten raw, presumably alive. Or boiled in oil. Or roasted in the hot ashes of a wood fire.... If God is a snail, Bosch’s depictions of Hell are going to look like a vicarage tea-party.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
