Horror

Famous quotes containing the word horror:

    Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.
    Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)

    It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.
    Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

    Adder-faced singularity
    Espouses a nailed-up childhood,
    Skin-disease pardons
    Soft horror of living,
    A gabble is forgiven
    By chronic solitude.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
