Everybody lives in the same nightmare, they just react to it at different times…What you’re looking at is the human being which is essentially an experiment that failed. It’s an evolutionary leap that’s probably not going to work, and unfortunately it knows it’s not going to work. That’s part of the appeal of Frankenstein’s monster. You know, the look in the monster’s eyes—it knows it’s this hideous deformed creature that’s going to throw little girls in the river, but it would like to be something better. And that’s pretty much us.

Robyn Hitchcock, from a March 2006 interview with The Believer.
