I'd have a quote from the French philosopher, Pascal. I know it in French so here's a loose translation of it in English: "When he gets arrogant you bring him down. When he gets down on himself you bring him up and you always contradict him until he understands that he is himself an incomprehensible monster." That isn't monster in the sense of the monsters in the 'Thriller' video though, it's a quote about the power of rhetoric and the ever-changing nature of man.
