->''"You see, I once met [[Creator/HPLovecraft a boy who was made entirely of fear]]. He was afraid in the night and afraid in the day. He was afraid of the world outside, but terrified he would never get to see it. [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero He was afraid of foreigners]], but fascinated by them. He was afraid of his psychotic father. Afraid of disappointing [[MyBelovedSmother his mother]]. He spent a lifetime of people watching from the windows of his skull, which he kept shuttered fast. This prodigy child of Providence loved stories, but was afraid he would never trap them on the page, never be read. So I made a deal with this anxious son of fear."\\
"A deal?"\\
"He would be forever full of stories, the cup never empty. And the people would read his stories. [[DealWithTheDevil On one condition]]: he had to write a story about me."''
-->--"The Death Of Dr Armitage," ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld''

->''"Sometimes [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter I cannot believe how lucky I am]] to have come across [[FalseFriend my blessed Muse]]. How many other great historical minds has his brilliance inspired? Is he even real - or just a part of my fickle imagination? No matter - his insight is surely real, as are the blueprints he left me for a portal to another dimension..."''

->''"Each and every night, the [[HumanoidAbomination black-eyed Outsider]] visits upon [[MadScientist Piero]]'s dreams..."''
