From: Silent Hill 3
Genre: Video games
Who said it?: Vincent Price
The story behind the quote: The quote comes from Konami’s Silent Hill 3. The game focuses on Heather, a teenager who gets wrapped up in the cult of Silent Hill and she journeys to the town in an attempt to kill their leader, Claudia, for revenge.
The quote comes late in the game. Heather encounters cult member Vincent Price, who is against Claudia’s methods and plans of resurrecting the god of the town. Vincent gets angry at Heather for looking down on him. He states that she’s worst than he is as she takes pleasure in killing the things coming after her. When a confused Heather tries to clarify if Vincent is referring to the monsters she’s been fighting, he delivers the quote.
Geek wisdom: Our perceptions change what we see. We may see a dangerous animal or person when they’re actually kind and harmless. We can believe a person has a kind heart but, in reality, they’re just keeping their dark side from public.
