Famous quotes containing the word horror:
“To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.”
—Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)
“That look of horror spoils your lovely face. What if it should show even through the wax?”
—Crane Wilbur (1889–1973)
“When horror is associated with what is harmful, evil results, when disgust does, badness.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
