Bride of the Gorilla - The Jungle's Dual Nature: Beauty and Danger
Police Commissioner Taro:
This is Jungle - lush, green, alive with incredible growth - as young as day, as old as time. I, Taro, Police Commissioner of Itman County, which borders the Amazonas River, know it as well as any man will ever know it. Isn't it beautiful? But I have also learned that beauty can be venomous, deadly, something terrifying, something of prehistoric ages when monstrous superstitions ruled the minds of men, something that has haunted the world for millions of years rose out of that verdant labyrinth. Let me tell you how the jungle itself took the law into its own hands. This was Van Gelder Manor, built to stand against the searing sun, built to shelter generations of Van Gelders, it also has become prey to the powers of the jungle, that terrifying strength that arose to punish a man for his crimes.
Dr. Viet:
White people shouldn't live too long in the jungle. Brings out their bad side, their jealousies and impatience.

I Walked with a Zombie - Perceptions of Voodoo and Its Practice
Betsy Connell:
I thought voodoo was something everyone was frightened of?
Paul Holland:
I'm afraid it's not very frightening. They sing and dance and carry on. And then, as I understand it, one of the gods comes down and speaks through one of the people.

I Walked with a Zombie - Confronting Mental Health and Local Superstitions
Betsy Connell:
Frankly, it was something of a shock to see my patient that way for the first time. Nobody had told me Mrs. Holland was a... mental case.
Paul Holland:
A "mental case"?
Betsy Connell:
I'm sorry...
Paul Holland:
Why should you be? My wife IS a mental case. Please remember that, Miss Connell. Particularly when some of the foolish people on the island start regaling you with the local legends. You'll find superstition a contagious thing. Some people let it get the better of them. I don't think you will.
Betsy Connell:
No.
Paul Holland:
Come along. I'll introduce you to Dr. Maxwell and your patient.

I Walked with a Zombie - The Illusion of Beauty and Reality
Paul Holland:
It's not beautiful.
Betsy Connell:
You read my thoughts, Mr. Holland.
Paul Holland:
It's easy enough to read the thoughts of a newcomer. Everything seems beautiful because you don't understand. Those flying fish, they're not leaping for joy, they're jumping in terror. Bigger fish want to eat them. That luminous water, it takes its gleam from millions of tiny dead bodies. The glitter of putrescence. There is no beauty here, only death and decay.
Betsy Connell:
You can't really believe that.
Paul Holland:
Everything good dies here. Even the stars.
