I have lifted the veil. I have created life, wrested the secret of life from life. Now do you understand? From the lives of those who have gone before, I have created life.

That's why I've come to you, to seek release from a curse of misery and horror against which I'm powerless to fight alone.

There are many strange happenings, my boy. Many mysteries beyond the power of the human mind to comprehend.

You must put fear out of your mind. Confront it with the belief that the past is over with, that a new life lies ahead.

Mad? Is one who has solved the secret of life to be considered mad?

I have lifted the veil. I have created life, wrested the secret of life from life. Now do you understand? From the lives of those who have gone before, I have created life.

It's a thing of violence, to whom death would be a merciful release.
