...for herself that men have to find their own way, to make their own mistakes. There can't be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. When men seek such perfection, they find only death...fire...loss... disillusionment...the end of everything that's gone forward...
from "Frisco Mary" in Crime Must Pay the Penalty #3 (Ace, August 1948), pencils and inks by Warren Kremer

from It Conquered the World (Sunset Productions/American International Pictures, 1956); starring Peter Graves, screenplay by Lou Rusoff and Charles B. Griffith, directed by Roger Corman
