{{quote|''Nothing is so frightening as what's behind the closed door. You approach the door in the old, deserted house, and you hear something scratching at it. The audience holds its breath along with the protagonist as she/he (more often she) approaches that door. The protagonist throws it open, and there is a ten-foot-tall bug. The audience screams, but this particular scream has an oddly relieved sound to it. "A bug ten feet tall is pretty horrible," the audience thinks, "but I can deal with a ten-foot-tall bug. I was afraid it might be a hundred feet tall.''|'''William F. Nolan'''}}
Line 57 ⟶ 58:
{{quote|There's no human who would be not afraid of anything. But a danger which lurks before you is only frightening until the moment it's known. And as soon as it becomes clear — you mobilize everything to fight it. There's no time for feelings. And you win.
| '''P. D. Grischenko''' <ref>Captain 1-st
