Horror

Famous quotes containing the word horror:

    not that horror was not, not that the killings did not continue,
    not that I thought there was to be no more despair,
    but that as if transparent all disclosed
    an otherness that was blessèd, that was bliss.
    I saw Paradise in the dust of the street.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    How often you, spurned, will run to my door, when your strong words shall have fallen into a sob, and a trembling horror will begin from your sad tears.
    Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

    One might say that the true subject of the horror genre is the struggle for recognition of all that our civilization represses and oppresses.
    Robin Wood (b. 1931)
