“There’s an old Greek idea that when you are approaching a monster, to look directly at it at best is gauche and at worst is going to burn you out. What you need to do is look at the reflection of the monster on your shield. Traditionally, myths have served as a kind of shield, so you can gaze on the horror of life without it absolutely obliterating you in the process.” - Martin Shaw
