Monsters aren't as scary if you start shining lights on them.
Monsters can be scary, and they're great, but they're only really scary when they're reflections of us and they show you the things you're scared of might be true about your own nature.
Everything in your life is there to teach you something; you can be awake to it or asleep to it. I can't remember which master said this, but he said, when the monsters are coming, you have to let them eat cake. Feed them. The more you invite them in, the less scary they become.
Then come the lights shining on you from above. You are a performer. You forget all you learned, the process of technique, the fear, the pain, you even forget who you are you become one with the music, the lights, indeed one with the dance.
Oh," the girl said, shaking her head. "Don't be so simple. People adore monsters. They fill their songs and stories with them. They define themselves in relation to them. You know what a monster is, young shade? Power. Power and choice. Monsters make choices. Monsters shape the world. Monsters force us to become stronger, smarter, better. They sift the weak from the strong and provide a forge for the steeling of souls. Even as we curse monsters, we admire them. Seek to become them, in some ways." Her eyes became distant. "There are far, far worse things to be than a monster.
People who are considered scary or odd or even monsters are so often the people that just need love and someone to care for them.
I liked the monsters, I liked them because I couldn't understand how something so scary could also be so good. It got me thinking as a very early age, and I had a lot of rehearsal.
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
If human beings are all monsters, why should I sacrifice anything for them?" "Because they are beautiful monsters..., And when they live in a network of peace and hope, when they trust the world and their deepest hungers are fulfilled, then within that system, that delicate web, there is joy. That is what we live for, to bind the monsters together, to murder their fear and give birth to their beauty.
The social Web is incredibly good at shining bright lights into dark corners.
Oh every time I close my eyes I see my name in shining lights
You cannot appreciate the beauty of the sky at night without these five shining lights.
There's been a load of compromising, on the road to my horizon, but I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me.
We always started these albums as making demos, that went right on until Scary Monsters.
I love scary movies. The Shining and Don't Look Now are two of the best.
Shadows are in reality, when the sun is shining, the most conspicuous thing in a landscape, next to the highest lights.
All our parents have levels of deviousness. We're driven to write about this discrepancy between the bright shining selves they invented and the monsters lurking underneath.
