Guillermo del Toro Quotes

No two people see things the same way.

Everybody's funny-looking.

Happiness, like air and water, the other two great requisites of life, is composite. One kind of it suits one man, another kind another. The elevated mind takes in and breathes out again that which would be uncongenial to the baser; and the baser draws life and enjoyment from that which would be putridity to the loftier.

No one's conception of art is going to be acceptable to everybody.

Normal is in the eye of the beholder.

One person's crazy is another person's refreshing.

Little red wagon, little red bike, I ain’t no monkey but I know what I like.

The people in the world, and the objects in it, and the world as a whole, are not absolute things, but on the contrary, are the phenomena of perception... If we were all alike: if we were millions of people saying do, re, mi, in unison, One poet would be enough... But we are not alone, and everything needs expounding all the time because, as people live and die, each one perceiving life and death for himself, and mostly by and in himself, there develops a curiosity about the perceptions of others. This is what makes it possible to go on saying new things about old things.
