"No, to a monster the norm must seem monstrous, since everyone is normal to himself. To the inner monster it must be even more obscure, since he has no visible thing to compare with others. To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. to a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous."
-East of Eden, John Steinbeck
"We are forms of all the things we love. Do you know what you are?"
-Good Monsters, Jars of Clay
