“...Mankind is not a race of noble savages - but primitive monsters hide inside us, elusive as Sasquatch...”

“Men were primitive in the eyes of angel beingsas men are primitive in the eyes of wilier races.”

“I write about the scariest monsters: The ones inside us all. And the ones that want to eat what is inside us all.”

“The genius of the primitive mind is that it can render human helplessness in noble and beautiful ways.”

“I don't feel that we were savages. We were in a savage land that made us hard, but we were not savages. Savages today are different, different in all ways. Their savagery is done in technical ways, so they are not called savages anymore. I don't know what savage means, really. There are good and bad in every race. There are traditional values that are good and bad. That goes for everybody.”

“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”
