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.
They know how to write good. They got paid to write good. They built their lives around writing good.
They know how to write well. They got paid to write well. They built their lives around writing well.
They know how to write. Well, they got paid to write. Well, they built their lives around writing. Well, …
They wrote about heroes saving the world, therefore they wrote good.
That what they wrote is so memorable to us means they wrote well.
Not to mention they got deep in the lore of King Arthur and Macbeth and what not for information to write that show.
