This whimsical quote by Mark Adam Kaplan uses humor and absurdity to convey a subtle message about the nature of monsters, often depicted as fearsome and untouchable beings. By attributing a mundane and somewhat silly action—picking their noses—to monsters, the quote humanizes them and strips away their terrifying aura. It suggests that even the things we fear have ordinary, relatable traits, reminding us not to take fear too seriously. Ultimately, this statement encourages a playful perspective on fear and the unknown, highlighting that sometimes what seems monstrous is simply misunderstood or exaggerated.
