Best 22 quotes of Mike Mignola on MyQuotes

But if there must be an end, let it be loud. Let it be bloody. Better to burn than to wither away in the dark.

Don't mess with me, lady. I've been drinking with skeletons.

I don't do costumes, I don't do sh_t like that. I love Halloween as a concept, but do I actually go out and do things? No. Trick or treating? Pain in the ass. Hate answering the door all night long. I do love fall, which is bad because I live in Los Angeles.

I look at all of world mythology and folklore as my toy to play with. There are just so many characters and creatures there I want to put on paper. It's a really exciting thing for me to take material that I really love and put a new coat of paint on it and present it to this audience. And I don't have to make up any of the characters. I can just pull a book of mythology off the shelf and say, "I'll use this guy." I also hate making up names for fantasy characters. I'll just flip through these books and say, "Wow, this is way crazier than anything I could make up".

Lady, I was gonna cut you some slack, 'cause you're a major mythological figure...but now you've just gone nuts!

My daughter is reading various Young Adult vampire stuff, and I ask her, "Is there even a bad vampire in the story?" There's always a good vampire now, but do any of them sleep in coffins? And I would bring her down to my library and say, "Here's every classic vampire literature. There are coffins, there's this, there's that," you know? "When you get to the YA stuff, you may try some of this stuff just to see where it came from.

My thumbprint is on every single thing that happens with Hellboy. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do professionally, letting someone else draw the main Hellboy comic. He's so much mine. But I still have no intention of ever handing over the writing of the main Hellboy comic to someone else. That character is my baby.

No rain but thunder, and the sound of giants.

Okay, I know I said I wasn't going to shake things up, but we're going to have to get some pants on this one.

Since the beginning of the world, a prayer is a prayer and a curse is a curse-- no matter the people-- no matter the language-- Man has given a thousand different namesto his god, but look into the face of each one-- long enough-- hard enough-- You will find one truth.

Things do look pretty grim, but I think there are more laughs in Hellboy in Hell than there are in B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth. I think Hell is getting nicer and Earth is getting worse. Once we figured out what we were doing, the whole point of the Hellboy/B.P.R.D. stuff has always been evolution. The kind of evolution we're seeing on Earth is nasty evolution - part of this kind of evolution is that you have to wipe out what was there before you can replace it.

What keeps this industry alive is creators doing their own work. Once you change a costume or origin enough times, it's a dead body - you're just electrocuting it and keeping it sort of shambling on. There is a lot more creator-owned stuff now, and some of it I look at and go, 'Oh, that's his pitch for a TV show. That's his pitch for a movie. That's him saying oh, this kind of thing sells.' I didn't do that.

With a rasping cough, the vampire shakes its head. "It was you who called us. All of you, with your war. The roar of your cannons shook us from our quiet graves.

...bir mezar kadar sessiz, kuru kemikler kadar çorak bir şehir gördüm ve melek şöyle dedi: 'bu ıssızlıktır.' Şehrin içine doğru ilerledim. Oradaki tek canlı, yaratıktı... Biçimi ile karakteri çoğu açıdan bir insanı andırıyordu ve ona bakmak pek ürkütmüyordu... Fakat gördüm ki; sağ elinde, dipsiz çukurun anahtarını tutuyordu. Ve içinden, cehennemin derinliklerinden, devasa bir ateşin yükseldiğini gördüm. Ve dünyanın yüzeyinde yankılanan kükremeyi işittim... Ve sonrasında sadece karanlık... Cennette insanoğlunun düşüşüne ağlayan meleklerin ağıdını işittim uzaktan.

Hellboy, to be other than human does not necessarily mean to be less. Remember that, remember me.

I'd be the first to admit that I have no shortage of faults. But if I had to pick one, the one that's gotten me into the most trouble over the years... ...it would be that I sometimes get angry.

I did not say it was true, only that I believe it.

Maybe you were telling the truth, maybe it was you who brought me to Earth. But I didn't ask to come, and I don't owe you for the favor!

Me percaté demasiado tarde de algo que ella ignoraba: aquel poder era una parte viva de su ser... pero me encontraba frío y desolado y ella era para mí como la gloria del sol... me lo bebí todo... sin dejarle nada

This is a grave. There is no honor here in broken tools and old bones, only in the deeds of our children.

Volviste la espalda a la luz del día para caminar por la sombra conmigo

Well, yeah, you listen to a talking snake and there's gonna be trouble.
