Famous quotes containing the word horrid:

Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair
And make my seated heart knock at my ribs
Against the use of nature?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“I know were not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we dont know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we dont care that we dont.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
“For, if a good speaker, never so eloquent, does not see into the fact, and is not speaking the truth of that ... is there a more horrid kind of object in creation?”
—Thomas Carlyle (17951881)
