"Just as Kant hoped to set the foundations of a valid ethical code ‘not just for man but for all rational beings,’ Lovecraft wanted to create a horror capable of terrifying all creatures endowed with reason. Apart from this, the two men had commonalities; both were extremely thin and had a weakness for sweets, both were suspected of perhaps not being fully human. Be that as it may, what the ‘loner of Konigsberg’ and the ‘recluse from Providence’ have in common is the heroic and paradoxical desire to go beyond humanity."
— Michel Houellebecq, H.P. Lovecraft: Against The World, Against Life.
