Horror

Famous quotes containing the word horror:

    I have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!
    Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

    The anarchy, assassination, and sacrilege by which the Kingdom of France has been disgraced, desolated, and polluted for some years past cannot but have excited the strongest emotions of horror in every virtuous Briton. But within these days our hearts have been pierced by the recital of proceedings in that country more brutal than any recorded in the annals of the world.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)

    To the horror of all who were present that day,
    He uprose in full evening dress,
    And with senseless grimaces endeavoured to say
    What his tongue could no longer express.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
