Daily Inspiration Quote by John Foster

“And, of course” is doing the heavy lifting here: it’s a little verbal shrug that treats a debatable aesthetic claim as self-evident. John Foster isn’t just endorsing ghosts and magic; he’s normalizing them. The phrase smuggles in a cultural assumption that realism is a baseline and the supernatural is an upgrade, like better lighting or a bolder façade.

Coming from an architect, the line reads less like fandom and more like design philosophy. Architecture lives in constraints: budgets, codes, gravity, client taste. Foster’s aside hints at a professional hunger for what the built world often can’t provide - rupture, mystery, the pleasure of the impossible. In stories, you can bend the laws without a lawsuit. The supernatural becomes a kind of narrative cantilever: an engineered overhang that looks like it shouldn’t stand, and that’s precisely why you can’t stop looking.

The subtext is also mildly provocative. “More interesting” implies that ordinary human conflict, psychology, and social detail may not be enough - or at least not enough to reliably hold attention in a crowded media environment. Supernatural elements function as a shortcut to stakes and symbolism: hauntings externalize guilt, curses turn inheritance into plot, miracles give belief a visible consequence.

There’s a modern context hiding inside the casualness. In an era obsessed with “world-building,” Foster’s remark aligns with a broader appetite for stories that feel larger than life, because everyday life already feels overdetermined. The supernatural isn’t escapism so much as a way to make meaning loud enough to hear.
