All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous ma

Summary

This quote suggests that in order for great things to have a lasting impact on humanity, they often appear in initially overwhelming and frightening forms. These "terrifying and monstrous masks" serve as a way to capture people's attention and leave a deep impression on their hearts and minds. By embodying a sense of awe or even fear, these great things can better engage with individuals and connect with the collective consciousness of humanity, resonating with them on a profound level. Ultimately, this quote implies that the first appearance may be intimidating, but it is necessary to make a lasting impact.
