Random quote of the day:


“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."

—H. P. Lovecraft, “Supernatural Horror in Literature,” 1927

Not to argue with this post, but H. P. Lovecraft probably said that because he was a horror writer. I bet romance writers would say the strongest emotion is love or jealously. Don't know what the equivalent is for SF/F. Sensawunda isn't an emotion, it's a state of mind. ;-)

True, but I would call H.P. a liar. If you think about cavemen and beasties out in the dark. Since I've never been a caveperson I can't really say what the oldest emotion is. :-)
