what shocks the system

There Will Be Blood (2008)

"'I began to mourn for my spirit, and the spirits of all people who cast a shadow a long way beyond what they are, and for the beasts that walk out of the darkness alone; I began to wail for all the little beasts in their mothers, who would have to step down and begin going decent in the one fur that would last them their time. ... 
...And then at the child -- there was terror in it and it was running away from something grown up; I saw that she was sitting still and she was running; it was in her eyes and in her chin, drawn down, and her eyes wide open.'"

"Watchman, What of the Night?" Nightwood, Djuna Barnes
