Aesthetic beauty Quote by Roman Payne
““I’ve seen knives pierce the chest, Children dying in the road Crawling things hooked and baited, Rapists bound and then castrated, Villains singed in public square. Yet none these sights did make me cringe Like when my Love cut all her hair.””

![“The depressing majority of comics seem to be about violence of one sort or another, [...] And I just don’t enjoy violence. I can see that narratively it is often a powerful spike in a story, but I certainly don’t want to dwell on it. I don’t want it in my real life, I don’t find violence…” quote by Dave McKean](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/548/dave-mckean-15219_psychology_the-depressing-majority-of-comics-seem-t_933308.jpg)
