“Ideas on earth were badges of friendship or enimity. Their content did not matter. Friends agreed with friends, in order to express friendliness. Enemies disagreed with enemies, in order to express enimity.”

“Cthulhu seems like kind of a wuss if he can be trapped by a sinking island or killed by a boat."
"That’s just because the stars aren’t right. When the stars are right, it don’t matter how many boats hit him. He’ll sink whole continents and lick off the people like salt off a pretzel."
"Says you."
"You keep talking smack like that, he’s gonna eat you first.”
