Nenia Campbell
“The villains were always ugly in books and movies. Necessarily so, it seemed. Because if they were attractive—if their looks matched their charm and their cunning—they wouldn't only be dangerous.

They would be irresistible.”
― Nenia Campbell, Horrorscape

Karl Lagerfeld
“We live in a dark and romantic and quite tragic world.”
― Karl Lagerfeld
