'Psycho Paths' by Philip L. Simpson - Quotes

'Psycho Paths' by Philip L. Simpson


Quotes I found interesting or relatively useful for my project:

'Urban legends belong to the subclass of folk narratives, legends, that-unlike fairy tiles-are believed, or at least believable, and that-unlike myths-are set in the recent past and involve normal human beings rather than ancient Gods or demigods. Legends are folk history, or rather quasi-history. As with any folk legends, urban legends gain credibility from specific details of time and place or from references to source authorities. (3)' p6

'...the film's strengths: "But being left with such a question [about the killer's past] is much more satisfactory than being given the answer...' p52
