    I always feel weird about these, like that dril quote. Shakespeare, Hobbes, Dril, and the people who worked on gargoyles all share the same thing: THEY ARE WRITERS. They know how to write good. They got paid to write good. They built their lives around writing good. These amazing quotes like “face god and walk backwards into hell” don’t happen by accident, they are intentional creations by people who are doing their absolute best to write something memorable, and occasionally succeed.
