About This Quote
Sometimes mortals can be more horrible than monsters. "Mortals" refers to people, of course. Though the influence of humans over monsters is more often than not negative, it can be positive as well. When you think of what the world would be like if only humans were present, you will often find that it would be worse. What good are the humans without the monsters? That’s why they are both together; they make up one whole.
