Jimmy Sangster - biography

“A benevolent mind, and the face assumes the patterns of benevolence.  An evil mind, then an evil face.”

“One can spend too much of one’s life locked in stuffy rooms seeking out obscure truths, searching, researching, until one is too old to enjoy life.”

“We’ve restored life where life was extinct.  It’s no longer sufficient to bring the dead back to life.  We must create from the beginning, we must build up our own creature, build it up from nothing.”
